Soul Eater 1. Off My Trail

Return Of The Dark Arms

Chapter 1

Off My Trail

She looked around as she walked herself up the stairs of the Death Weapon Meister Academy, its been about seven years since she had last been here. Would they remember her? Well Lord Death does, he did call for all death scythes to come to Death City.

She stood at the top of the stairs looking up at the school, her hands rest in her pocket.

"Are you Kira?" A man walked up to her his skin a pale blue.

"I am, " she looked at him, immediately looking into his soul. A meister.

"Im Sid, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Death talks very highly of you." he held out his hand,

" Lord Death remembers me?" She took his hand and shook it.

"he practically raised you with Kid, "

"that is true," she shrugged putting her hands back into her coat pockets

"hes expecting you in the death room." Sid walked towards the building.

"right" she nodded and followed him

"Kira! How have you been?!" Lord Death exclaimed as she walked up the stairs to the mirror.

"ive been hanging in there," she smiled as she stood in front of the mirror.

"you must know why I called-"

"Father!" Kid walked into the room, "What is the meaning of this?"

"uh Kid" Lord Death looked at her, but Kid went on. "Kid!" Lord Death almost yelled at him.

"What?" Kid tilted his head,

"Kira is here." Lord Death pointed to her.

"Yo" She waved,

"KIRA!" Patty exclaimed and jumped on her.

"well hello there," she caught Patty, stumbling back and falling to the floor.

"Patty come on don't choke the girl." Liz pulled her sister off of Kira.

"awwwwww." Patty pouted then stood next to Liz crossing her arms.

"Thanks," Kira stood up and dusted her uniform off.

"Kira.." kid mumbled still slightly in shock, the last time he saw her, she was just ten. So much has changed about her in seven years. Her black silky hair was now down to her knees, her body had grown, she wasn't flat anymore, and she was almost as tall as she was.

"better yet.." Kid thought aloud. "How does Patty know Kira?" The rooms attention turned to the bubbly blonde little sister.

"Patty?" Liz looked at her younger sister.

"Yes?" she tilted her head completely unaware of the situation.

"How do you know Kira?"

"We met in Brooklyn, remember Liz? It was right before Kid found us" Patty looked at Kira, then at Liz. "shes the one who told us to mug Kid."

"what?" Lord Death looked to Kira.

"aheheheh" She put her hand behind her head, "its true, it was the only way to get Kid off my trial when I left.

"now that that's settled " Stein walked into the room. "Kira where will you be staying?"

"is my old apartment still open?"

"no, the Meister Maka Albarn lives there now with her weapon partner Soul." Stein stood among the circle.

"oh. Well then." she crossed her arms, "I guess ill have to find a new apartment."

"Until then, stay at my place." Stein played with the screw in his head, slowly turning it.

"sounds like a plan." she nodded

"But but.." Kid mumbled.

"hmm?" Kira turned to look at him

"n-nothing." Kid looked down. "how about we catch up some time?"

"sure sounds awe-" Stein had grabbed her arm and pulled her aside.

"Kira, we need to talk." Stein said sternly.

"r-right" she nodded

"After class meet me in the teacher's lounge" He fixed his glasses then walked out of the Death room.


	2. Tears Of The Soul

Tears of the Soul

"So Stein," she sat at the table with her former meister. "What is it that you needed?"

"It's About your partner." Stein leaned back in his chair. "I don't approve of her."

"I havent even met her and your telling me you don't like her," She looked at him, then stood up and went to one of the vending machines. She shuffled around her coat pocket and pulled out a few coins, "Stein, that doesn't make e to confident in her." she put a few coins in the machine then went to press a button, Steins hand beat hers.

"I don't trust her Kira." he said, his mouth was right by her ear. "please watch yourself." he pressed the button then pulled back and left the room.

"what could he be so worried about?" she mumbled softly as she bent over to pick up her drink as it plopped out of the machine. She shook her head and cracked the soda open, her favorite, Death-a-cola. She sipped her soda.

'of course' She thought to herself ' he could be jealous that hes not the one partnered with me.' She shrugged the thought off and walked out of the room.

"yo Kid" She walked up to him, sipping the last drops of her soda. He was with a group of friend.

"Kira," he smiled. "Guys this is the death scythe my father told us about, and my childhood friend, Kira Akane. " Kid held his hand out presenting me to them.

"Hello Im Scythe Miester Maka Albarn, and this is my partner Soul 'Eater' Evans." A girl with light colored pig tails introduced herself to Kira.

"Right the pair that's living in my apartment. " Kira tossed the can she had at a trash can a couple of feet away, and made it.

"wh-what?" Maka mumbled

"oh nothing, keeping up on rent right?" Kira chuckled. Maka nodded hesitantly.

"Im Soul, As Maka said, apparently im not cool enough to introduce myself." He huffed.

"So youre the one they've been talking about, Kira Akane." The boy with blue spiky hair looked at Kira "Youll never surpass my power so stop being such a big shot, cause im the star around here, I am BlackStar!" the boy continued on.

"So it seems.." Kira looked at him, unamused with his whole accusation about people talking about her.

"B-BlackStar lets not get carried away now" A taller female tried to calm the hot head down. "she is a Death Scythe after all.."

"it doesn't matter if shes a kishin ill beat her into place!" he started laughing manically.

"you fight me?" she shook her head " I have places to be," she sighed, then turned to Kid, "Ill see you later"

Without another word, and before BlackStar could finish laughing, Kira walked down the stairs of the DWMA. She looked up at the sun as it slowly set. She looked around and walked towards a small market. It wasn't hard to find with her memories of running through these streets with Kid. She found herself smiling at these thoughts. She shook her head and walked into the market.

"Stein im home!" she chuckled holding a few bags in her arms as she walked into Steins house. "hmm. Not home I see." she sighed and sat on the couch setting her bags next to her.

"Alone.." she mumbled then laid back. She closed her eyes her memories of Death City coming back to her, the first time she turned into a weapon. "the blade of your soul.." she mumbled softly rolled to lay on her side. The couch was comfortable, she soon drifted off to sleep.

"huh?" she opened her eyes, looking up to see her soul. It was black, she smiled and drifted to it and hugged it, feeling her own warmth. She smiled closing her eyes once again

"Kira!" a six year old Kid chuckled as he tackled her.

"Kid!" she chuckled hugging him.

"Promise you wont leave me.." he looked at her suddenly the mood of there play time changing.

"Kid.." she mumbled sitting up. "you know I can't promise that.." She looked down.

"you can! You're my only friend.." He started to tear up.

She groaned shifting her body and rolling over, her arm hanging over the edge of the couch.

Stein walked into his house seeing her asleep. He looked over her then moved the bags she had to the other couch. He sighed, then took her shoes off gently laying her legs back on the couch and pulling the blanket from the back of the couch and pulling it over her.

"this girl.." he mumbled then walked over to his room.

"Kira! Stop!" Kid ran after her as she walked out of the DWMA.

"Kid, Im leaving." She stopped at the stairs looking back to Kid.

"You cant leave.. Youre my only friend.." Kid froze looking down, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Kid Im sorry…" she sniffled fighting the tears, looking down the stairs. "I cant stay.." She took off running down the stairs not stopping.

"Kira!" He stopped looking down the stair, unable to move anymore.

She shot up in the middle of the night, tears rolling down her cheeks. She shook her head hiding her face in her hands. She closed here eyes tightly. She took a deep breath trying to stop crying

"Sh Sh " Stein rushed over to her and hugs her wrapping his arms around her.

"S-Stein.." she leans into the hug hiding her face to his chest.

"your wave lengths…" He mumbled softly as she sobbed herself back to sleep in his arms. The pain of being alone for so long has finally caught up with her. He leaned back against the couch looking up at the ceiling.

"I need a cigarette" He closed his eyes his hand resting on the girls head.


	3. A New Partner

Chapter 3

A New Partner

She looked at herself in the mirror then shook her head and finished washing her face. She whipped her face off with a hand towel then ran a brush through her black silky hair. She sighed at herself. She was disappointed that she broke down, again in front of Stein. She shook her head closing her eyes leaning her head against the mirror.

"Hurry up" Stein knocked on the door, "Class starts soon"

"alright" she stood straight up and fixed her tie then opened the door and walked past Stein. She smiled and grabbed her coat and puts in on. She stretched her arms out. "Lets go Stein."

"I cant find my shirt" Stein glanced at her, then looked around his room.

"You told be to hurry, and your not ready?" She shook her head and opened the door coming face to face with a tall woman with glasses. Her hair was in an up tight bun. Although it didn't suite her statue, it looked good, at least with her shirt.

"Are you Kira Akane?" The woman fixed her glasses, looking down on Kira.

"I am.." She looked back to see Stein still searching for his shirt. "Its on your bed you idiot,."

"Its not." Stein second guessing himself popped his head up from looking under his bed, looked and saw his shirt laying, nicely folded on the edge of his bed. "Well then.." He stood and put it on.

"I am Anya Daughtry, your new partner." She held out her hand to Kira.

"oh.." Kira hesitantly went to shake her hand.

"Alright." Stein walked up behind her, patting her back, pushing her hand away from Anyas "Lets go"

"R-right.." Kira looked at Anya, who was glaring at Stein. "Youre coming to right?"

"I am." Anya shook her head and walked off ahead of them to the DWMA.

Kira stretched her arms out as she reached the top of the stairs. Anya and Stein trailing some ways behind her. She smiled to herself, besides her little breakdown last night, it was great to be back in Death City. She missed the kindness of the people. The world outside had treated her so unfriendly. She reached her hand up to feel the thick pink scared 'X' on her throat. She looked down and shook her head. Its supposed to be a happy day, After classes she was going to the café with Kid and a few of his friends. She let out a sigh and walked into the DWMA.

"you know, I don't want you to partner with her." Stein looked at Anya as they walked up the stairs.

"I assumed when you didn't let her shake my hand." Anya looked up to see Kira stretch. "Do you know that girls soul-"

"I know. " Stein said before she could finish. "That's why I don't think you would be the best match for her. Your souls wave lengths are too weak for hers." Without another word Stein left Anya behind walking up the stairs to get away from her.

"Ill prove you wrong Stein!" She called after him.

Kid frantically looked around his room. He couldn't find it. Where could it be? His wallet is gone. The only picture he had of them was in there. Him and his only childhood friend, Kira. He tore threw his drawers looking for it.

"Yo Kid.." Liz walked into his room.

"Not now I cant find my wallet!" He picked everything up off the floor and put it back in his drawer neatly then tore threw the next.

"Um." Liz leaned up against the door frame holding up his wallet. "You left it in the dining room last night."

"Liz.." He looked down then cleaned up the mess he had made then stood up and walked over to the eldest of the Thompson sisters. "Thank you.." He took his wallet. "My mind just.. I don't know I'm happy she's back but.. She's so different.."

"Imagine how she sees you Kid. You've definantly changed since she last saw you. Get some one on one time with her to catch up. I mean she's a Death Scythe now." She put her hand on the scatter brained reapers shoulder. "It will take some time." She walked out of the room.

She sighed tapping her pen on her desk. She looked up at the bunch of student looking down at her, she was waiting for Stein to get to class.

"Sorry im late." Stein walked in, Anya and Spirit following behind him.

"Finally, you're getting old aren't ya Stein?" Kira sat up, the classed giggled and snickered.

"No, Spirit had problems Introducing himself to Anya." Stein slowly turned the screw in his head. "I think today's lesson should be held outside, in the court yard."

"Huh?" Kira tilted her head. "Why?" Her and the students looked confused.

"I challenged him to a duel." Anya fixed her glasses. "Him and Spirit against You and I."


	4. The Battle That Could Of Killed

_**Chapter 4**_

**_The Battle That Could Of Killed_**

Kira stood in front of Anya looking at Spirit and Stein across the yard. Spirit shook his head, mumbling something to Stein then transforming into his scythe form

"Is this a good idea?" Kira looked an Anya, then over to the crowd of students gathered around them. Kid was standing with his friends, looking slightly worried.

"Its time to transform Akane." Anya held out her hand, "Your Demon Scythe form." Without another worn Kira looked down and closed her eyes. She let out a sigh and with a flash of bright light she transformed into a dual headed scythe.

"Hah," Anya smirked catching her knew partner and spinning her in her hands. Being blunt she straight off charged at Stein.

"Don't Do That!" Kira called out, "Stein can use his soul wave length to attack, stay at a distance and wait until he comes to you!"

"hm?" Anya stopped. "What do you mean?" She looked down at Kira in her hands.

"Try this form," Kira shifted her form into a regular one blade scythe. "When he attacks-"

"To slow.." Stein swung his weapon at Anya with such power, he broke the wave length between the inexperienced miester and weapon pair, sending the weapon flying back out of her of her hands.

"I-I.." Anya looked for her weapon she tried calling to it but it didn't respond.

"As I told you your not a good enough meister for her. How is it that lord death chose you, is beyond me." Stein let Spirit go and he transformed back. "Its not about wave lengths with her, it how you listen to her when shes fighting. She'll tell you how to do it"

"Stein I.. I dint think.." Anya looked down.

"That's right you didn't think." Stein looked down at the sulking female. "Your not her meister until you can beat me with her." Stein walked past her. "But youre clearly incapable of that."

Stein walked towards the crowd that surrounded his former partner. Spirit running up behind him, grabbing his shoulder and stopping him.

"Hey Stein, That wasn't fair. You used Kiras soul to deflect Anya from fully connecting." Spirit looked at Stein. "Is there seriously something wrong with Anya? Or do you miss Kira as much as Kid?"

"Look Spirit. This womans soul. Its not right, " Stein looked to Anya who was getting up and dusting herself off.

"What do you mean?" Spirit looked over to Anya then back to Stein.

"Shes not a meister, " Stein looked away thwn continued walking.

"Stein!" Maka ran up to him "Kira was hurt in the fight!"

"Shit.." Stein ran up to Kira moving the crowd out of his way,

Kid was sitting next to Kira, his arms around her. Kira was hunched over holding her neck, blood visibly dripping down her arm.

"Alright everyone back to class!" Spirit called out, the crowd slowly dissipating.

"damn it.." Stein kneeled down to her. "Let me see.." She sat up slowly moving her hand away, a large cut from the nape of her neck, lead down her chest. She mumbled something then blacked out.

"Kira!" Kid yelled.

"Damn it.." Kid punched the wall waiting outside the infirmary.

"Kid calm down." Soul put his hand on his shoulder. "She'll be fine. Steins stitching her up now and shell need rest, "

"Hes right kid," Maka stood next to them. "Its getting late, we should go rest. She should be awake tomorrow. We don't want to burden her tonight, go home and rest Kid. "

"Right.." Kid nodded looking down. He stepped away from the wall then started walking away without another word.

Kiras mind drifted, searching her soul. Her mind stopped, settling on the memory of the battle. Who really injured her? Stein wouldn't of done anything to harm her. She let the memory play over and over again. She paused in, looking closely. Anya, it was Anya. She used her soul wave length purposely to harm her. That's why her soul was hurrying to resonate. To break Kira from the inside out. Anya was not a meister, She was an assassin. She was sent by the only witch that had it out for Kira. Medusa.


	5. Blue Fizzy Soda

**_Chapter 5_**

**_Blue Fizzy Soda _**

"I should of known.." Stein sat in his chair in front of his home computer. He sighed leaning back looking up at the ceiling. "She was off guard its all my fault…"

Hours later there was a knock at his door. He stood up from his bed and walked to the door. He opened the door to find Spirit stumbling in, drunk as usual. Stein caught his friend and led him to the couch.

"You smell like the liquor cabinet Spirit." Stein set his weapon on the couch.

"That woman.." Spirit groaned "I was talking to her, " He sat himself up. "She said something about witches after the Death Scythe Dark Arms. "

"What?" Stein froze. Kira was at the school infirmary. Alone. Anya was no where to be found. Stein ran out of the house rushing towards the DWMA.

"Stein what's the hurry?" Soul and Maka were walking home from the market.

"Witches are in Death City there after Kira!" Stein didn't stop, he ran right past them.

"What?" Maka looked at Soul then the pair took off after Stein.

Anya looked over the sleeping Kira. Trailing her fingers down her smooth skin. The girl was beautiful. Anya sighed the girl looked a lot like her mother. She smiled then released her soul protect, sending out a large wave length. She looked back down at Kira, The girl stirred and started to wake. She slowly sat up, her hand on her head.

"What?" She cringed collapsing back down.

"Stay down child." Anya put her hand over her eyes.

"Anya.." She mumbled, "Where's Stein?"

"He's at home, asleep." Anya smiled, two of Medusas snakes slithered down her arm. Slithering onto Kiras skin, the snakes settled as tattoos across her chest. Kira shifted slowly falling back asleep, not noticing what had just happened. Anya smirked. "Soon." she mumbled then re cast the soul protect on herself and Kira.

She walked to the window, looking up at the moon and its awkward face. She looked back in the room as Stein, Maka, and Soul burst in the door. Anya laughed evilly then disappeared into the night.

"Damn woman!" Stein growled then rushed to Kira, She looked fine, she was fast asleep.

"Stein we'll-" Maka started,

"No." Stein kneeled next to Kira feeling her forehead. "Maka.. M-May I ask you a favor?"

Maka slightly startled at her teachers shaky tone, along with the anger in his voice. She was slightly scared "Y-Yes, What is it?" She looked out the window.

"Don't leave Kiras side. " Stein stood up. He didn't look at Maka, or Kira again. He just left.

"Stein!" Soul followed after him "What's your problem? What happened to the cool level headed teacher you used to be?" Soul walked in front of his teacher, looking up at him. Something was off about his expression. He was broken.

"Its my fault she couldn't defend herself.." Stein had been broken. He blamed himself. He felt as if he should protect her. Even if it costs his life.

"Look Stein. I don't think it was you. " Soul put his hand on Steins shoulder. "I was there to, Anya's Soul was wrapping itself around Kiras."

"Still.. I should have known.." Stein shrugged of his hand and walked past him. Soul started to follow, but did not want to leave his meister with a witch after the girl she could not leave.

Stein wondered around Death City, not consciously thinking of where he was going. He stopped at a market, much like the one in England he and Kira went to all those years ago. He walked in and looked around. It was almost exactly like the one they went to.

"Stein!" The young black haired girl tugged on his sleeve pulling him into the small shop. She was only thirteen.

"Alright alright," He chuckled walking into the shop with her. She ran up to the soda display and grabbed a bottle with a fizzy blue liquid in it.

"Its my favorite! Can you get it for me?" She smiled up to him. He looked at her, unable to resist her cuteness he gave in and bought her the drink.

Stein sighed happily at his memories finding that he had bough one for her. He sat on a bench outside the market. He held the glass bottle in his hand, turning the bottle slowly. Water droplets collected on the cold bottle in the humid night air.

The next morning Kira awoke to BlackStar and Soul arguing about who would play the new game Soul bought for them to play, first. The whole gang was there.

"Kira." Kid smiled sitting on a chair bed side to her.

"Fancy seeing you here." She chuckled slightly. She sat up looking around to see the smiling faces of her friends.

"Glad to see you up." Tsubaki smiled.

"She cant die yet she owes me a fight" BlackStar smirked, Soul nudged him shaking his head.

Maka put her hand on her forehead checking for a temperature .She felt fine. Maka was uneasy. Kira looked at her concerned. She shook her head, basically saying to her 'later' Then smiled and greeted her.

Liz looked at Kira in disgust. She despised Kira with a passion. Liz sighed looking around the room. She watched everyone gawk at the female.

"Kid I'm gonna run to the café, ill meet you at home come on Patty." Not saying anything else she pulled her little sister out of the room.

"okay." Kid looked back at her as they left. He shook his head then looked back at Kira. "I was Thinking, we should have a party at my place. "

"That sounds fun!" Maka smiled.

"Sounds cool, I guess." Soul was leaning up against the wall his hands in his pockets.

"Sounds awesome!" BlackStar smiled crossing his arms and chuckling to himself.

'Eheheh.." Tsubaki smiled slightly, wondering what BlackStar was planning.

"Kira?" Kid looked at her, "We could spend some time together, catch up, get to meet knew friends. "

"Sound like a plan. " She smiled at the group.

After the crowd had left, Maka told Kira that she would be moving into the apartment with Soul and her, Due to Stein wanting them to be closer friends. Kira agreed on that.

"Mmmm!" Kira stretched standing up from the infirmary bed. She was alone in the room, Maka waiting outside the door with Soul. Kira looked around the room, her gaze stopped when she saw a glass bottle, with a blue liquid on the window pane. She tilted her head them walked over to it. She picked up the bottle, it was moist, and still cold. It left a ring of water on the window pane. How long had it been sitting there? She smiled the memory of that day back in England popped into her mind. She popped the top off and sipped the blue fizzy soda, it tingled her throat as she swallowed. She smiled once again then finished the soda. She sat the bottle upside down on the window pane and left the room.

"Hey look Stein!" Young Kira smiled "I can make it stand upside down."


	6. A Mothers Return

Chapter 6

A Mothers Return

She looked at herself in the mirror. What happened? She ran her fingers over the tattoos on her chest. She shook her head. Soul and BlackStar were at Steins getting her stuff. She had just gotten out of the shower at her old apartment. She was living with Maka and Soul now. She would be sharing a room with Maka. She sighed and slid on an old shirt of Souls he let her have. She pulled her skirt on then dried off her hair. 'The Tattoos…' She thought 'were they always there?' She opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey how was the shower?" Maka was sitting on the couch reading a book.

"I have a question.." She walked over sitting down next to Maka.

"What is it?" She closed her book and set it aside.

"What do these tattoos mean?" Kira pulled her shirt down to show Maka the tattoos. Maka froze, The only other place she had seen those tattoos, was on Medusa. "M-Maka?" She tilted her head.

"Y-You're a…" Maka managed to say through her confusion.

"I'm A what?" She frowned

"Witch…" Maka backed away.

"How?" Kira Shook her head.

"Nyaaa!" A purple haired cat jumped onto Maka's lap. "Its obvious she's not going to hurt you Maka. She doesn't even know what she is."

"But Blair…" Maka pet her.

"I understand if you don't want me here…" Kira looked down.

"No," Maka shook her head "You're my friend, and I'm not going to let the fact that you being a witch stop me from protecting you like Stein asked." Maka gasped then covered her mouth. Kira didn't say anything. She looked at Maka then shook her head. She stood up and walked towards the door. She opened the door ignoring Maka telling her to stop. She ran down the hall leaving the complex.

She shivered her arms hugged tightly across her chest. She looked around and found herself in a dirty ally way. She knew Maka would of called Kid to come and find her. She shook her head. No, She didn't want to be found. She wondered the streets of Death City for hours. She finally got tired and leaned against a wall in a dark ally way. She closed her eyes taking a deep breath and sighs heavily.

"What is ever so wrong dear child of mine?" A female voice drifted out of the darkness.

"Wh-what?" Kiras eyes shot open, looking to find the body the voice came from.

"Thatss right," A blond-haired woman walked out of the shadows, slowly making her way to the startled Kira. "Mommy's back darling."

"Kira!" Kid was riding around Death City on his bored searching from the air while the rest ran the streets. No, He couldn't lose her again. He looked around frantically for her soul wave length but he couldn't find it. He growled at himself then went to see Maka.

"Maka.." He pulled up next to her and Soul, "Can you See her wave length?"

"No, " She shook her head " I-" Her sentence was interrupted with a blood curdling scream. The three looked at each other and ran towards the scream.

When the trio got to the source of the cry the saw the witch. She was standing there with their friend, blacked out, in her arms. Maka looked at Soul and nodded, Soul shifted into his weapon form.

"Such a darling young girl." Medusa ran her fingers down Kiras cheek.

"Get your hands off her!" Kid growled taking a step towards her.

"You," Medusa glared down at the reaper. "dare tell me to keep my hands off my child." She laughed. "I think not!" Medusa held her arm out and her vector arrows shot towards Kid. Just in time BlackStar came slashing threw the arrows with Tsubaki's Enchanted Sword mode. Medusa hissed, the retreated to her broom with Kira in her grap.

"No wait!" Kid called out.

" The girl is mine give it up." Medusa disappeared into the night sky with the young death scythe.

Medusa sighed looking down at her daughter. How did she lose her daughter? She shook her head, watching the night sky as her broom carried the two home. She leaned her daughters head against her chest, laying her cheek against her head. She closed her eyes.

They landed down in front of a house in the middle of a dark forest. Medusa held Kira in her arms, carrying her into the house then walking down stairs to a small room. It was her room, when she was little. Medusa laid Kira down on the bed. She stood looking down on her daughter. She crossed her arms then walked back up stairs.


	7. Brotherly Love

**_Chapter 7_**

**_Brotherly Love_**

Kiras eyes slowly fluttered open. She rolled her over in the bed. She groaned in pain gripping onto her side. She slowly opened her eyes looking around the room. It wasn't familiar. She slowly herself up, she was shaking holding herself tightly.

"I have a little sister?" A pink haired boy walked down the stairs, holding a tray with a bowl of soup on it. "I don't know how to deal with that.." He walked over and set the tray down on the night stand.

"Wh-Who are you?" Kira scooted back on the bed, looking up at the boy. She coughed leaning her head against the wall.

"I-I'm Crona.." The boy mumbled. "Did you know my blood is black?" He chuckled nervously, grabbing onto his arm.

"Why am I here…." Kira looked away. She was lightheaded

"Lady Medusa said she needed you." He looked around nervously. "Whats your name?"

"Im Kira Akane.."

"No your not." Medusa walked down the stairs and stood behind Crona. "Your name is Ryan" She crossed her arms.

"I grew up as Kira. " She attempted to stand up. Only to collapse back on the bed. "Why cant I transform.."

"I put a spell on you." Medusa walked to her side "Crona leave."

"Y-Yes!" The boy shivered when she said his name the practically ran up the stairs

Medusa looked down on the helpless girl. She could barely move. Medusa chuckled to herself setting her hand on her cheek. Kira jumped and slapped her hand away. Her mother hissed then slapped her across her face. Kira cringed looking down, she slowly reached her hand up to her own cheek. She looked up at Medusa, breaking the soul protect Anya had put on her. The moment Medusa felt the sheer power of Kiras wave lengths, she cringed.

"Ill…kill you.." Kiras eyes faded as she stood. Medusa backing up. Kira held out her hand and a beam of light shot out, a scythe appeared and she grasped it. Medusa held her hand out and her Vector Blade appeared in her hand. Kira lunged herself at the witch. With a loud bang the blades collided. Sparks flashed as Kira pressed her scythe to Medusa, her Vector blade starting to crack. Medusa growled then kicked her daughter in the gut sending her flying back into the wall, then ran up the stairs like the coward she is.

"Get back here and let me kill you.." Kira groaned then stood up. She cringed holding her right shoulder, a large splinter of wood sticking out of her. She collapsed to her knees, her scythe disappearing from her grasp. Her eyes coming back to life. Tears gathered in her eyes and she cried out in pain. She pulled herself up to her feet and tried to walk herself up the stairs, but she couldn't. She collapsed forward blacking out from pain.

"That bitch!" Medusa pounded her fist into the wall, She growled looking down. How will she handle the girl. She doesn't listen, The power of her soul, it was just as strong as the kishin. How can she get close to her?

"L-Lady Medusa.." Crona peeked around the corner looking at his mother.

"Go check on that wench, chain her up." Medusa smirked, looking at her son. Her son was weak enough to gain her trust.

"Y-yes!" Crona frantically nodded then ran down the stairs.

The pink haired boy looked down at his sister, He looked around the room. He panicked and kneeled down next to her, he grasped the stake of wood and pulled in out. Her body jerked as he did blood running out of the wound. Crona panicked and ripped off part of her shirt and pressed it against her wound. He kept pressure until the bleeding stopped. Then searched around for the first aid kit. He smiled slightly when he found one, then made his way back to his little sister. He sat down next to her and fished out gauze and antiseptic ointment from the kit. He looked down at her.

"Ryan.." He mumbled then slowly peeled of the blood soaked cloth from the wound. She cringed, letting out a small cry. His eyes widened. "S-sorry.." He knew she couldn't hear. He cleaned the wound as gently as he could and then dressed it. He sighed looking down at her. Even though he had just met her, he wanted to protect her. He moved her hair from her face, oh no, she was pretty to. "I don't know how to deal with a pretty sister.." He mumbled "Too many boys would like her, How do I deal with that?" He tilted his head looking down at her. What would he do? Lady Medusa wanted to bring her nothing but pain. He shook his head.

"What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?" He panicked, then stopped. "Protect her.." He mumbled putting his hand on her cheek. He leaned down slowly. "Ill… Ill… protect you Kira…" He kissed her forehead softly. He blushed softly then smiled at himself. He was happy he had a little sister. He was happy he finally had a reason besides serving Lady Medusa. To protect his little sister, that would come first from now on.

"Crona! Chain that thing up!" Medusa yelled at the boy from up stairs.

"Y-Yes!" Crona jumped, he shook his head then picked up his sister.


	8. The Beginning Of A New Resonance

Chapter 8

The Beginning Of A New Resonance

Kira eventually woke up. Finding herself chained up against the wall. She looked around, her vision was blurry and her body pained with each movement. She groaned hitting the back of her head against the wall behind her. She slowly closed her eyes. She sensed three souls upstairs, The witch Medusas, Crona's, and another. It was close to Crona, practically on top of him. She cringed as the wound on her shoulder throbbed in pain. She closed her eyes, slowly blacking out again. When she opened her eyes she was drifting threw the void that was her souls cradle.

She looked around the void seeing her soul amongst countless others, the souls of her weapons. When Meisters looked at her, they only saw her soul, the soul containing many. Her soul wasn't like the others, being the type of weapon she was, the souls of the kishin eggs she had eaten to make herself a death scythe. She has stolen there weapon form. She drifted to her soul, seeing the mix of weapon, witch and meister in it. Her mother had found a way with the darkest magic she could to make her a soul stealer. She was so young when she was put through so much pain. She shook her head. How did she forget these things? Were they bound when she was sealed as a child? She reached out to touch her soul. It was warm, but there was something missing. She could put her finger on what it was.

She pushed the thought from her mind and opened her eyes to find Medusa staring at her. Kira jumped hitting her head on the wall. Medusa laughed then grasped her face making Kira look at her. Kira growled trying to move away. Medusa clawed her cheek smiling then taking a vile letting he blood drip into it.

Kira looked at Medusa then sighed. She started giving up hope that she would be saved. Crona walked down the stairs holding a tray.

"L-Lady Medusa.. She should eat.." He looked around nervously.

"I guess your right.." Medusa capped the vile then walked out of the room.

"Im sorry about her.." He set the tray on the night stand and took a napkin and wiped the blood from her face. He licked the napkin cleaning the smeared blood from her cheek.

"its fine.." She mumbled softly.

"Here.." He picked up the bowl of soup he had made for her and went to feed her a spoon. She looked at him the let him feed her.

Hours later, after she had finished eating. Medusa had made the chains longer, allowing her to sit down. She relaxed leaning up against the wall, She sighed then reached over and pulled the blanket and pillow from the bed. She laid her head down on the pillow pulling the blanket over her.

"A-Are you still awake?" Crona slowly walked down the stairs, holding a bag in his hands.

"I am.." She looked up at him "Why?"

"I brought a change of clothes… I-Its one of Lady Medusas old suites… it was the only thing that would of fit you… a-and I came to check your wounds…" He shifted nervously.

"Alright.. " She sat up. "Can you take these chains off?"

"Promise not to run.. I don't want Lady Medusa to hurt you again… " He kneeled next to her, setting the bag down.

"I promise," She nodded holding her chained wrists out to him.

"Mm.." Crona unlocked the chains "Here turn around…"

"Mkay.." She nodded then turned around. Crona gently pulled the gauze from the wound. She cringed closing her eyes.

"S-Sorry.." He looked at the wound, "I-Its healing well.." He pulled a first aid kit out of the bag and starts cleaning the wound. She cringed looking down. He frowned then finished dressing the wound.

"Ouch.." She looked at him,

"Heh.." Crona looks away, "You can change now…" He handed her the bag then turned his back to her.

"Hey Crona.." She started to undress. "Why would you treat me like this? Wouldn't Medusa hurt you if she found out?"

"You're my little sister.. " He mumbled "I can deal with protecting you.."

"Thank you.." She slid her clothes off then slid into Medusas clothes. The chest was a bit tight, but it fit well. She looked down. "Do you have a brush or something? My hair is tangled.."

"R-Right!" Crona got up, "Ill be right back.." He got up and walked up stairs.

She looked around, She was alone. She could escape. She stood up and started to walk to the stairs. But what would happen to Crona? She looked down then sat back down waiting for her older brother. She looked up at him as he walked down the stair, a brush in his hand.

"H-Here.." He sat down in front of her. "Turn around ill brush your hair.." He smiled nervously.

"Okay." She smiled turning around, He gently brushed out her hair.

"Your hairs so long and beautiful.." He ran his fingers though her hair then brought it up and smells her hair.

"Thank you.." She blushes softly. "Crona.. Lets leave…" She looked back at him

"Crona leave the room. " Medusa walked down the stairs.

"But… " Crona looked at Medusa then at Kira. He hugged Kira close whispering "Ill be back" in her ear then walked out of the room.

"Wh-What do you want?" Kira looked at the witch growling slightly.

"He took the chains off and you didn't run.." She looked at her. "You must care for him. " Medusa smirked pulling out a small syringe full of a black substance. "Give me your arm if you want him to live. "

"Your horrible…" She looks down then holds her arm out to her mother.

"Thank you " She smirked grabbing her arm and jabbing the needle into her vain, injecting the black substance into her.

"A-Ahh!" She cringed pulling her arm back, the syringe falling to the floor.

"Tsk." Medusa laughed then walked up the stairs, coming face to face with Crona. "Stay away from her." She walked past him without another word.

Crona tapped the shoulder of his sleeping sister shoulder, He put his hand over her mouth while she woke up. He put his fingers to his to his lip shushing her. He stood up holding his hand out to her. She looked up at him, then reached her hand out and took his hand. He pulled her up and hugged her close. She hugged him back holding onto him. She hides her face in his chest. He lets her go then takes her hand and leads her to the stairs. She holds onto his hand staying close to him. He slowly leads her up the stairs, then through her house and out the front door.

She looks around as she and Crona find there way back to the city. She grips onto her brothers hand tightly, She was all he had at the moment. How would she get back home though? She looked at Crona who was panicking himself.

"Hey, " She hugged him close, "Its going to be okay.." She held him

"Ill keep you safe.." He wrapped his arms around her. He rested his hand on the back of her head holding her close to him.

"Kira!" Stein along with Kid, Maka, BlackStar and there weapons ran up with him.

"Who are you?" Crona's eyes darkened turning them around so his body blocked hers. He was hiding her.

"Give Kira back!" Kid growled aiming his twin pistols at Crona.

"I will not hand my sister over to people I do not know, I cant handle her being in danger." Crona held his little sister close.

"Crona," She looked up at him "Its okay, I know them. " She stepped out of his arms and took his hand. She smiled at him. He nods gripping her hand. She led him over to the group.

"Guys, this is my brother Crona" She smiled. Kid dropped his twin pistols and pulled Kira into a tight hug. She smiled hugging him back tightly. Crona gripped his arm looking at the embrace.

"Hes hugging my sister … I don't know how to deal with this…" He at the crowd.


	9. Bonds Of Time

_**Chapter 9**_

_**Bonds Of Time**_

"Kid come on man, it looks perfect, " Soul looked at his friend.

"Its not symmetrical!" Kid whined collapsing to the floor.

"Bro the only thing not symmetrical about you is your hair and your balls ." BlackStar laughed at his remark

"Wahhhaaha!" Kid whined and pouted "I am asymmetrical garbage!"

"Ugh.." Soul pulled Kid to his feet. "Pull yourself together, remember when you told me she said she loved you?"

"That was over eight years ago.." Kid sniffled and stepped away from him.

"eight years ago, you hair was unsymmetrical and im sure you didn't have balls then." Soul grunted. "Get over it anyway, its just a party."

"I guess your right.." Kid looked down. "Crona how you holding up?"

"I don't know how to deal with this!" Crona was sitting in the corner of the room his hands on his head.

"Maka .. Tsubaki.." Kira looked at herself in the mirror. Maka had curled her hair and pinned it up. Tsubaki had done a bit of make-up on her. Kira looked at her face, they did a nice job. Her cheeks were slightly blushed, and her lips were a deep red, her eyes were a smokey gray pink. She looked better than she usually though. She looked down at the black dress Tsubaki had taken her to buy. The dress fit her perfectly, it was backless and side less. She looked at her chest, She cringed a bit, the dress showed her tattoos.

"Hey.." Maka smiled at her. "Its fine no one will know. I already had discussed it with Kid and the others. "

"besides you look beautiful." Tsubaki smiled at her.

"Thank you.." She blushed slightly.

She looked around the room. There were so many people. Maka walked up to her with Soul following her. He stopped and blushed slightly then shook his head and stood next to Maka.

"You look nice." Soul looked over Kira.

"Thanks. " She smiled.

"Shouldn't you hide the snakes?" Souls eyes rested on her chest. She looked down. Maka elbowed him in his ribs. Soul grunted.

"don't say that." Maka glared at him.

She sighed leaning against the wall. She looked down at her glass of punch. Where was Crona? Where was Kid? She swirled the liquid in her glass.

"R-ryan.." Crona walked up to her. "H-How was your night so far?"

"Good.." She didn't want to say she had been alone for most of the night. Maka had taken Soul home, he had drank to much already. "How about you?" She sighed.

"I was wondering around looking for you." He leaned against the wall next to her. "Kid pulled me aside to ask what had happened while you were kidnapped." He tapped her glass. "That Liz girl, she doesn't like you."

"I assumed." She handed him her glass and he took a sip.

"I don't know how to deal with so many people.." He handed the glass back.

"Me neither." She sighed then set the glass on the table.

"Kira." Kid walked up to her, "come dance with me."

"what?" She looked at him,

"dance," He held his hand out to her. "With me."

She nodded then took his hand. He smiled and led her out to the dance floor. She held his hand looking back at Crona. He smiled at her, enjoying the fact his sister was having a good time. She smiled and Kid turned to her and put his hand on her waist. She blushed slightly, but it wasn't noticeable She placed her hand on his shoulder and the music started to play.

"We haven't danced in a while." Kid smiled as he took lead in the Waltz.

"Its been at least seven years." She followed his lead, She smiled and leaned her head against his chest. They slowly danced along to the song. She closed her eyes thinking back to before she left.

"I missed you Kira. " He moved to wrap his arms around her.

"I missed you to.." She wrapped her arms around him. Now they were swaying back and forth slowly to the music. He leaned his cheek against her head holding her close to him. The rest of the night was them, catching up, getting to know one another again. Becoming the best of friends like they were seven years ago. Crona had joined them in conversation. The three stayed up til dawn, all falling asleep in Kids bed. Liz, had argued with her a few times. Each time being stopped by Kid. It was surprisingly a good end to a perfect day.


	10. Moving Day

_**Chapter 10**_

_**Moving Day**_

Kira sighed as she lugged a box up the stairs. Her thing had finally shipped in from Germany. She set the box down at the door to the new apartment she was able to buy. She curses then runs back down the stairs and grabs the keys from the moving truck. She looks up at the sun, it was the dead of summer and a boiling hot day. She couldn't wait to get inside and turn on the air conditioner. She walks back up the stairs, Crona was at the DWMA talking with Lord Death about their mother. She searched through the chain of keys until she got the right one then unlocked the door.

"Yo Kira!" Soul called up to her. She turned around to see him, and Maka at the bottom of the stairs. "Need help?"

"Sure thing," She called down, "Start bringing boxes up, " She smiled then picked up the box at her feet and walked into the quite large two bedroom apartment. She walked over to the window in the living room and set the box down on the way. She smiles looking out the window placing her hand on the window..

"Where do you want them?" Maka and Soul walked into the apartment both holding a box.

"Here is fine, I need to look through them" She pointed to the box she had placed down.

"Where are the rooms?" Maka looked around only seeing the Kitchen and living room.

"Up stairs. it's a two story place." She walked over and opened a closet that had stairs in it leading up, "Im gonna take the door off."

"That's cool, how big are they?"

"Pretty big." She walked up the stairs. "come look, " Maka and Soul looked at each other then followed her up. She showed them the large master bed room with a bay window and connected bathroom. "This is my room," She walked across the hall and opened the door to another large room, but not as big as the first. "And this is Cronas room." She walked to the end of the hall and opened the bathroom door it was a decent size bathroom, walk in shower, large tub.

"Wow.." Maka was slightly jealous.

"This is what you bought with all the rent money we had to pay?" Soul looked at her,

"Eheheh, yeah it is. " Kira rubbed the back of her head. "This and a few other things, at the moment that is my only source of money."

"I see.." Maka nodded, "Come on lets finish getting the boxes." She trotted down the stairs, Soul and Kira following her.

"That was sooo much lifting" Maka waved her noodle arms and collapsed on the couch that they had just brought in.

"You are weak. " Soul looked at her, then to Kira who was flexing. "Is that all?"

"Yeah it is. " Kira smiled at him.

"Cool, how about some drinks?" Soul plopped down on the couch, "Deaths Café, my treat." He prodded Makas side causing her to jump and squeak.

"Stop that." She growled her cheeks flushing a dark pink. Soul laughed and nodded.

"sounds like a plan" Kira smiled.

"Alright." Soul stood up "lets go."

Soul opened the door for the girl, following them in. Maka ordered and iced green tea. Soul asked for a hot chocolate. Kira had trouble deciding between an iced mocha coffee and a double chocolate frappachino. She eventually chose the double chocolate frap. She sipped it happily as she and her friends chatted.

"Hey, should we invite the others?" Maka pulled out her cell phone.

"Sure " Soul set his hot chocolate down.

"Mkay." Maka started to type on her phone.

About an hour later Kid, Liz, and Patty walked into the Café. Kira stood and hugged Kid.. Liz grimaced at them then took a seat next to Maka. She cringed slightly scooting closer to Soul. Soul shook his head. Kid took a seat next to Kira, Patty next to Liz. The waitress came over and took their orders, Liz ordered an iced tea, Patty got the same. Kid shared with Kira.

"BlackStar and Tsubaki couldn't come." Maka shifted away from Liz's dark aura.

"Not cool." Soul groaned leaning back in his chair.

"Ehh." Maka shrugged. "at least it wont get out of control." She chuckled a bit.


	11. The Annoyances

**_Chapter 11_**

**_The annoyances_**

"Ryan.." Crona nervously tapped on her bedroom door. "M-May I come in?"

"it's the middle of the night Crona.." She sat up rubbing her eyes. She tossed her blanket off and went to open her door. She was met wit Crona hugging the pillow she had given him. "Are you okay?" She looked at him.

"I-Its Ragnarok.." He buried his face in the pillow. "He wont calm down. " Just then the black blood demon that had been put in him burst from his back.

"You're the one that cant calm down." the thing beat on his head.

"I cant deal with this.." Crona curled up hugging his knee.

"Yo Ragnarok." Kira said the punched the thing square in the face as it looked at her.

"Ow what was that for!" The thing yelled at her.

" I will." She grabbed it making it look at her. "Single handedly, find a way to separate you from my brother." She growled at it.

"I-I-I Im sorry!" Ragnarok cried then hid behind Crona. "I-Ill be nice!" It disappeared back into Crona.

"Th-thank you Ryan.." Crona slowly stood back up.

"Its no problem, " She smiled.

Kid sighed rolling over in his bed. He had a wonderful night talking with Kira and the others. BlackStar wasn't there, but it was still a good night. He smiled to himself when he realized he was thinking about how cute she looked with her hair up. He sat there thinking about her. Suddenly there was a scratch at his window. He jerked up looking around. He stood up from his bed to find a small gray and white kitten mewing and pawing at his window. He tiltled his head and opened his window, then reached out and picked it up.

"How did you get here you little cutie." He closed his window with the kitten in his arms. The kittens response was a loud purr and a mew that was almost as cute as it was. Kid chuckled softly then sat on his bed. "I think you'll be a house warming present for Kira." He scratched the kittens head smiling.

"Yo Kid, " Liz knocked at his door opening it slowly.

"Yes Liz?" He looked back at her the kitten pawing at his cheek.

"What do you see in that witch?" Liz ignored the kitten, "Shes a witch for goodness sake."

"I know she is." Kids tone grew stern. "But has she ever tried to hurt anyone? Shes also a death scythe, which means she had to kill a witch herself." Kid stood up, setting the kitten on his bed. "Why cant you understand, I love her?"

Liz hesitated, She looked down. "Because I love you!" She yelled then ran from his room. Kid didn't chase her, he had already knew that. He shook his head. He had told her before to get over it shes his weapon. Only his weapon. Her and Patty were not of his love interest. His heart has belonged to Kira since she risked her life to save him. He saw the passion in her eyes, the truth about how she felt about him that day.

He smiled to himself then crawled back into his bed, resting his head on his pillow. The kitten crawled up to his face and laid next to him on the pillow. Kid looked up at the roof, slowly drifting off to sleep.

Kid awoke several hours later. He was chained up to a wall, his hands and feet shackled. He couldn't move. He looked around frantically when a female figure walked up to him.

"It seems you may be the only way to get my daughter to listen." Medusa looked at him with a rather large grin on her face.


	12. Paralyzer

**_Chapter 12_**

**_Paralyzer_**

"What do you mean?" Kid looked at her. "My father will find you!" He growled.

"No." She laughed. "Im using you to lure my daughter to me." She walked up to him, gripping onto his chin. "And once I get control of her, ill have her kill you."

"Your horrible, she would never do that." Kid jerked his face from her grasp.

"Oh but she will." Medusa smiled then walked from the room.

"Kira!" Maka pounded her Kiras door.

"What is it?" Kira opened the door rubbing her eyes.

"Kid has gone missing." Maka was breathing heavily she had ran all the way from the DWMA.

Kira froze, then shook her head and walked up to her room. She threw her door open and went through her clothes. Maka had followed her up.

"What are you doing?" She stopped at the door.

"Im going to find him." Kira pulled out the Medusas robes. "don't stop me."

"I wont, ill join you." She looks at Kira.

"Crona do you think you can help?"

"I-I don't want Ryan back with Medusa." He looked down.

"I wont be in danger if your with me." Kira looked at him dressed in the robes, with a few changes she had made to it.

"Ill go.. Just to protect you" Crona looked at her.

"Thank you" She hugs him.

"as long as your safe" He hugged back.

"Lets get going." Maka put her hand on Kiras shoulder. "Stein, Papa, Soul, BlackStar, and Tsubaki are at the edge of the city waiting. " The trio looked at one another then nodded and headed out the door.

"Wheres Liz and Patty?" Kira said as she walked up to the group. "They should be here. "

"We are.. " Liz walked up with Patty following behind her.

"good I have a plan. " Stein gathered the group.

"What is it?" Maka looked at him.

"I want Crona and Kira to travel up front and alone." Stein turned the screw in his head, "It must be Medusa trying to get them back. "

"Then why leave them alone?" Soul looked at Kira. "Wouldn't it be dangerous?"

"Yes, but it would lure her out, Maka and you will be off to the right, Spirit and I will be behind, and Liz and Patty to the left." Stein looked at Soul. "Is that okay?"

"I guess." Soul huffed.

"Lets get going.." Kira growled, her eyes were fading again. Maka looked at Stein as Kira walked away. Stein shook his head.

"W-Wait up.." Crona ran after her. "Are you okay?" He looked at her.

"Yeah, im good." She smiled at him. He tilted her head, worried about her.

'Does she love him that much?' He thought to himself.

"Im not seeing anything.." Kira growled as they walked through the forest.

"Its so dark, how can you see? " Crona looked at her.

"I just can." She looked around. She stopped feeling her soul drop. She couldn't move. Someone had a hold of her. She turned to look around. There was no one there.

"Whats wrong?" Crona stopped in front of her. She couldn't move, She couldn't talk. What could she do?

"Nothings wrong." Medusa hissed as she walked out from the shadows of the forest. She grinned walking up to Kira. She placed her hand on her cheek. "So easily captured darling" She smirked admiring how her daughter had come to have such smooth skin.

"Medusa.." Crona pointed his demon sword at the witch. She turned to look at him. "I cant let you hurt her!"

"Oh?" Medusa held her hand out her Vector blade appearing in her hand.

'Where are the others?' Kira frantically panicked, 'wait.' She thought back to the modifications that she had made on the robes. 'the tail,' Her eyes focused on the witch. Medusa hadn't noticed the arrow tail of Kiras robes swaying back and forth. The arrow shot out plunging itself into Medusas chest. Medusa froze, shocked at what had happened. She didn't flinch. 'oh no..' Kira panicked again. Medusa slowly turned her head to look at Kira.


	13. Shattering

_Shattering_

Medusa looked back at Kira. Her snake like eyes glaring at the paralyzed girl.

"You can choose your fate girl." Medusa Licked her lips. The arrow disintegrating from her chest. It had no effect. "You have chosen yours." Medusa started towards her.

"N-no!" Crona lunged himself towards Medusa, swinging the demon blade at her. It clashed against her Vector blade, the force of the blow caused her to be pushed back a few feet. She glared, growling at her son.

"Kira!" Stein finally arrived, catching up from behind. He put himself and Spirit between Medusa and Kira. Maka and Soul joined Crona up front.

Kiras eyes grew weak, losing all sense of light. The ground under her started cracking and breaking around her. The wind picked up and started swirling around Kira, forming some sort of barrier around her. Her soul started pulsing. Stein cringed, dropping Spirit, whom turned back when he hit the floor, his hands singed.

"Kira calm down." Stein rushed over to her, he put his hands on her shoulders.

Medusa laughed, placing her hands on her hips. She stood there, watching them fuss over Kiras soul weakening.

"Shes not controlling it." She smirked, walking over to them. Maka, Soul and Crona blocking her way.

"Then who is?" Maka held Soul tightly, ready to strike the witch down.

"The boy with the stripes." Medusa chuckled, stopping a few feet in front of the scythe meister.

"Kid?" Crona mumbled under his breath looking back at his younger sister, whom was obviously in pain.

"Ive had it with your lies.." Kira finally spoke, her paralysis starting to fade.

"Now.." Medusa smirked, holding her arms up, the twin snakes that were tattooed upon her arms slithered off her and shot towards Kira. Stein tried to stop them, but failed. The snakes coiled around Kira, sinking their fangs into her neck.

"Kira!" Crona and Soul called out. Crona ran to her, but was unable to get close.

Kira cried out in pain, blood dripping down her neck. The snakes tightened around her. She struggled for freedom. She felt herself losing consciousness. Her vision faded out and she collapsed. A loud shattering sound clattered over the group.

Kira's soul, it was gone.


	14. SoulBound

"What have you done with her!?" Kid struggled against the chains that bound him. "I cant feel her soul anymore..." He started to tear up, choking on his own words. He hung his head, mumbling her name softly.

"Oh Shut it." Eruka walked down the stairs and over to the cage that held the dazed reaper. "No one wants to hear you complain."

"Ill kill you all..." Kid closed his eyes setting against the cold bars of his prison. Eruka shivered hearing the cold brutalitiy in his voice. She mumbled something inaudible, then set a plate of food down in his cage and left, hurrying up the stairs.

Kid sat there for hours, mumbling the name of his loved one.

"Kid!" The scythe meister Maka yelled as she practically jumped down the stairs, Blackstar followed.

"Ki-Kira..." The weak reaper mumbled, looking up to see the Maka And Blackstar.

"No, Maka.." She released her weapon who trensformed back into his human form.

"Hes not in good shape.." Soul said unlocking the cage.

"We need to get him back.." Blackstar was even quiet.

"Wh-where..."Kid was unable to get his mind off her.

"come on.." Soul bit the inside of his cheek, then helped Kid from the cage.

Kid laid in his bed, aimlessly staring up at the ceiling. What would he do now? The small white and gray kitten jumped up on his chest. Kid sluggishly lifted his hand and set it on the kittens back. It nuzzled his hand, purring loudly.

"youre right.. i cant just sit here.." Kid mumbled then sat up, setting the kitten next to him on his bed.

Kid walked up to her apartment door. The kitten snuggled in his jacket. Her fished the keys out of his pocket then opened the door. The kitten fussed around then jumped out of his jacket and ran into the apartment.

"Huh?" He watxhed as it ran around the room, stopping at the foot of the stairs. It looked at Kid with its blue-gray eyes then took off up the stairs. Kid shook his head the quickly followed it up. The kitten sat at Kiras room door, patiently waiting for Kid to Open it. He tilted his head then slowly opened the door. The kitten ran in, jumping into a pile of Kiras clothes. Kid walked in looking around the room. The kitten mewed as it drug out a small black crystal. The crystal pulsed, glowing faintly. Kid walked over, slowly leaning over to pick it up.

"Shes not dead you twat." The snake witch smacked Eruka on the back of the head.

"But..." Eruka looked at the girl on the cold steel surgical table, her long black hair flowling over the edge.

"Her soul is bound to an item. " Medusa growled. "That Damn Mabaa must have taught her that..." She shook her head then walked to the table that held the girl. "SoulBound..."


	15. The Begining

Kid studied the crystal, rolling it between his fingers. "What does it mean Father?"

"Its called SoulBound." Lord Death paced back and forth across the death room. "Only powerful witches can accomplish this. She bound her soul to that item. It must have specific meaning to her.' Lord Death walked over to Kid taking the crystal from him and holding it up to the light and studying it.

Maka and Soul sat at a table across from Professor Stein. Maka had her hands folded in her lap looking down, sadness on her face. Soul was leaned back looking up at the ceiling, emotionless. Stein laid his head on the table, his glasses next to him.

"We have to do something." Maka mumbled softly, looking up at Soul then Stein.  
>"Do what?" Soul looked over at her. "Lord Death said we cant do much unless we know where her body is, and Medusa has that."<br>"I guess youre right.." Maka shifted in her seat.

Lord Death set the crystal down looking at it intently.  
>"Bingo!" He shouted making Kid and Spirit jump.<p>

"What is it?" Kid looked up to his father.

"Its the crystal i gave to her when we first took her in." He looked over to Kid. "Which means if we take her body and The crystal to the place i found her, we can fuse them together again."

"where did you find her?" Spirit looked up to Lord Death.

"I found her at The Battle Festival a few years back, she was six then." Lord Death thought back.

"Let the Battle Festival commence!" Lord Death held his hands up, the crowd around him cheering. Two Meisters in front of the crowd clashed. Lord Death smiled beneath his mask, then walked back behind the crowd. He turned around to look over the battle, spotting a little girl. She was standing there watching the Meisters brawl. She looked in awe, watching the weapons clash and spark. He tilted his head, thinking 'How could a girl so young have a sense of battle?' He watched the girl curiously. He soon decided to look at the girls soul,and when he did he was sure surprised. Her soul was strong, stronger then that of a witch and a reaper. He thought to himself. 'Could this girl be the first Hybrid?' He shook his head. He was the only reaper, and he only had one child.

When the next battle started, the little girl walked into the ring. He was in shocked, he didnt know she was in the battles. He walked back to the front lines of the crowd and asked for the battle list. He looked over it and saw her name.

"Ryan Gorgon.." He mumbled to himself, then looked up to see her draw her weapon. A stream of light shot from the girls hand, and a black scythe with a red blade appeared. She spun the Scythe, then held it in her ready position. Her sparing partner thought it was a joke, She smirked then charged hitting her opponent with a powerful blow. Lord Death shivered, feeling the blow in his chest.

After the battle, that she had won, Lord Death followed the girl. She walked into an alleyway that lead to a small shop. She stopped at the shop looking in the window. She stared looking at a small black crystal. She sighed then walked away. He walked into the store then asked how much the crystal was. it wasnt expensive so he bought it, then went to find her.

He found her sitting on a bench near the battle colosseum . He walked up and sat next to her, the crystal hidden in his cloak.  
>"I saw your battle back there." He looked over to her as she looked at him. "Wheres your mother?"<p>

"M-My mother?" She tilted her head.

"You dont have one?" He was slightly shocked. She shook her head looking up at him. "Oh my.." He slouched over.

"Its fine," She smiled at him. "I can manage."

"I have a school." He looked back at her. "I would like you to attend it when youre older. until then," He stood up in front of her, bending over to meet her face with his. "Live with me and my son?" He presented the black crystal to her.


	16. Medusas plan

Medusa crossed her arms across her chest, looking down at the girl laying on the steel table. She sighed, slowly walking up to her, running her fingers across her smooth skin. Medusa looked down at her daughter admiring her. Her focus stopped on the snake tattoos that rested upon Kiras chest. The snakes curved down her body, ending on her lower stomach. Medusa slowly ran her fingers along the snakes, stopping mid-stomach. She laid her hand flat on Kiras stomach, smiling softly down at her.

"Medusa?" Eruka walked down the stairs and over to Meudsa. "The other isnt doing so well.."

"And I care why?" Medusa slowly pulled her hand up. "Kill him for all I care." She glared down at Eruka.

"b-but.." She mumbled then backed away, returning back up the stairs.

Medusa shook her head then returned her focus back to Kira. She placed her hands on her stomach, then closed her eyes. The snakes on Medusas arms slowly slithered off her then onto Kira. The snakes hissed at the ones already there. Medusa stepped back and let her minions work. They arched up looking at her hips then charged, sinking there fangs deep into her flesh, carving into her bone. Her body didnt move or flinch. The snakes pulled back, leaving black spots where there fangs pierced her. Medusa smiled, watching intently. the snakes slithered up to Kiras chest, aimed at her collarbone. They sunk their fangs in with ease, carving against her bone once again before pulling away. Once again leaving black spots upon her skin.

"Good." Medusa walked back to them, picking hr snakes back up. They hissed before forming back into her skin as tattoos. "Now we wait." Medusa walked up the stairs, leaving Kiras body exposed.

Medusa returned hours later, walking back to her daughter. A small vial of red liquid in her hand. She uncapped the vial then poured the thick red liquid into Kiras mouth.

Kiras body convulsed, lunging up from its resting position.

"Rise my daughter. We have a task to complete." Medusa grinned.


	17. Failed SoulForce

"What are you telling me?" Kid Looked at Maka.

"Stein said he felt Kiras body." She placed her hands on the table in front of her. "It was for a split second, but enough to make him go after her." Maka was slightly enraged that he had just ran out to rescue Kira alone.

"He can't do anything without the crystal." Kid stood from his seat. "We need to follow him." He made his final decision and walked out of the death room.

Maka sighed slouching back into her seat.

Stein looked around, the house in front of him was definitely that bastard witches house, Medusa. He sighed softly. Then got up and walked to the door, knocking on the door. Eruka opened the door.

"Wha-" Stein put his hand on her face, using his soul force to shock her, making her pass out. Stein stepped over Erukas body then looked around the room. He walked up to a door that was chained. Stein looked at Eruka then searched her to find the keys. He was unsuccessful so he looked around the house.

"What was that?" Medusa tilted her head then smirked when she felt the professor's soul. "Hmmm." She turned to watch as Kiras body pulled on its clothes, the robes fit her tightly, her body was fuller than her mothers. Medusa ignored that fact although it bothered her. "Ryan," She smiled, her body looking to her. "Take care of that soul that has wandered into the house will you?"

"mmn" Kiras body nodded, a scythe appearing in her hands as she walked up stairs. She looked around at the top of the stairs, the Scythe had an ominous, faint, red glow to it. She walked over to Erukas body, looking down at it.

"Errg." Eruka mumbled sitting up slowly. She looked up at Kiras body rubbing her eyes. "Kira youre eyes are so… lifeless.."

"weak.." Kiras body mumbled then with one swift movement pulled her scythe to Erukas neck and slicing her head clean off. Kiras body tilts her head then reaches and picks up the weak witches soul. she sniffs it then smirks and swallows the soul.

"Kira?.." Stein walked up behind her, Shocked to see her body up and moving. Her body quickly jabbed the shaft of the scythe back into his stomach, knocking him back into the chained door. She turned to look at him, She tilts her head then walks towards him. Stein shook his head at looked at Kiras body.

"Who…" It spoke lightly to herself as it reached and gripped Steins neck, picking him up from the ground. Stein gripped onto her arm and sent his soul force into her. The body didnt move, it wasnt phased. Medusa laughed as she walked up the stairs.

"How could a body with no soul feel a wavelength?" Medusa smirked.


	18. Missing

Kid dodged a branch as he rode his bored thru the woods, Liz and Patty in handl. Maka And BlackStar weren't far behind him. Around his neck hung the black crystal, the glow pulsed faster as they drew closer to her body. "Kid how do you know where we're going?" Maka caught up with him. "The crystal is leading me, Can't you feel it?" Kid looked at her then ducked down to dodge another branch. "I can't." Maka ducked down then slowed herself down to run next to BlackStar. "Something doesnt feel right BlackStar.." Maka mumbled to him. "I know what you mean.." His voice was deep and ominous. "Kid.." Liz mumbled from her weapon form. "Thats enough Liz.." He sighed. "I can feel it too, but Kira is leading us there, She must believe we can do this."

Kid and the others approached the house, the door was wide open. "I don't sense anyone…" Maka held her Scythe partner in her hand firmly as she walked up to the door. "Let me go first Maka.." BlackStar, holding Tsubaki in her Demon Sword form, walked in front of her. Maka sighed looking after him. "All clear.." he called out as the others walked in. "What happened here?..." Maka held herself, the house was torn up, blood stained the place. Soul formed back into his human form and looked around, staying close to Maka. "This can't be Kiras blood… can it?" Kid stood at the entrance looking at the house. "M-Maka?..." A weak small voice came from the broken chained closed. "Crona?!" Maka exclaimed then ran to the closet, pulling the doors open to find the pink haired boy hugging his knees in the corner. He was bruised and cut up. He pulled himself up from the ground and stumbled into Makas arms. "R-Ryan…" He mumbled, worried for his little sister. "Shh shh.." Maka held him, gently rubbing his back. Maka felt tears well up and slowly stream down. **

	19. An old coin

"How is he?" Soul looked at Maka, from the door of the infirmary

"Hes shaken badly.." Maka looked at Crona from the chair she sat in. "He keeps mumbling her name." She stood up, Crona was asleep in the bed. "Hes worried.." She walked over to Soul.

"Kids just as bad…" Soul pulled Maka into his arms, holding her close. "I think it may be up to us to bring Kira back.."

"I hope BlackStar can help.." Maka wrapped her arms around his waist, her cheek pressed against his chest.

"I havent seen him or Tsubaki sense weve been back.." Soul leaned his cheek against her head. She sighed and too a step back from him.

"I have to go look up something in the library, ill see you at home." She quickly kissed his cheek then walked by him.

"BlackStar.." Tsubaki knocked on the door slowly peering in. "Dinner is…" BlackStar sat on his bed silently. His head in his hands.

"How could i have let her be taken like this?" He mumbled. "I made a promise to her.."

"Its not youre fault.." Tsubaki walked over to him, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Medusa was going to kill her if we didnt back off.."

"I still broke my promise!" BlackStar stood up facing Tsubaki. "I can't just sit here and wait for Crona to wake up! Im the hero around here i have to go after her." Without another word BlackStar walked past Tsubaki and left the apartment.

BlackStar huffed hiding his face as he walked down the street. His hands stuffed in his pockets, his fingers found a small coin. He thought for a second then pulled out the coin. It was an old japanese coin Kira had given him. He grasped the coin tightly then put his hand back in his slowed his pace as he thought back to that night.

"Yo Kira!" BlackStar jogged up to Her. Her hair was up in a ponytail. She was wearing an old shirt that was tied in the back to make it tighter, and shorts.

"hey Star. Whats up?" She smiled and turned to him, a smudge of black grease was on her cheek. She was working on her old motorcycle that Lord Death had Saved for her in the Academy. It was rusty and had a bit of damage to it, but it was fixable.

"Lord Death said you werent training with Maka Today, i wanted to see why." He looked at her, then licked his thumb and wiped the grease off her cheek.

"Oh," She blushed slightly as he wiped her cheek. "Thanks im just fixing this up." She turned and pointed to the motorcycle that was in pieces in front of her.

"It looks complicated." He smirked. "Sure you dont need help?" He looked at her. "Im sure i can help."

"Its not that hard actually, im just cleaning it at the moment. " She walked over and picked up a rag. "But you can help." She tossed the rag at him.

"at least i get some time with you." He blushed when he realized what he had said. "I didnt mean it like that."

"Its cool." She chuckled the picked up a part and started cleaning it off. He sighed then walked over to her and joined her wiping off another part.

"How do we put it back together?" BlackStar looked at her as he set down the last part.

"That is a journey for another day Star." She stretched out her arms. "The sun will be setting soon." She walked to the garage and brought back a big cardboard box, "Help me clean up?" She set the bod down and started putting the parts away in it.

"Sure," He walked over and helped her put the parts away. She stands up, then lifts the box up and carries it back to the garage. He looks over at the frame and walks up to it, he runs his fingers over the handlebars, inspecting it.

"Interesting isnt it?" She walked up next to him. Her head was the same height as his shoulder.

"Yea.." He looked down to her, "How'd you get it?"

"I found it in an alleyway a few years ago." She smiles still looking at the frame. She reached down and pulled a small shiny object from the ripped leather in the seat. She turned the object in her fingers, then looked up at him.

"Whats that?" He tilted his head.

"its a coin, from japan." She took his hand and placed it in his palm. "Keep it safe for me?" She smiled.

"I will.." His fingers closed around the coin. He stood there for a moment, looking down into her eyes, her eyes were a deep blue. "Do your eyes change often?" He put the coin into his pocket, then moved the hair from over her eyes.

"They do, " She blushed slightly, her cheeks turning a light pink.

"How?" He was lost in her eyes completely, his hand resting on her cheek.

"I don't know…" She mumbled

"Kira.." He mumbled leaning in close to her, the his eyes widened and he pulled her close, her face being pressed to his chest. She blushed deeper,her arms finding their way around him. He held her close to him for a while then softly said "I promise to keep you safe.." Then gently released her.

"Ill keep you to that.." She smiled up at him.

BlackStar, coming back from his thoughts, pulled the coin from his pocket again. Turning it in is fingers. He looked up at the dark sky.

"A promise is a promise." He put the coin into his pocket then took off running out of the city.


	20. Awaken

Medusa sighed looking at her daughter, the Professor walking behind her.

"Why did we have to let him live?" Medusa turned back looking forward.

"Because i said so." Kiras body smirked. "And if you don't approve" Her eyes glowed red. "I'll Gladly kill you."

The sound of her voice sent shivers down Medusas spine. She looked down at her feet. They've been walking for a while now. They soon came upon a house, it was old and torn up.

"Here." Kira pushed in front of Medusa and walked into the house.

"youre head is full of Kiras memories isnt it?" Stein stood behind Kiras body. "Thats why you wont kill me."

"Shut up.." A scythe appeared in her hands, the blade was at his throat in seconds. "I will kill you.."

"Go a head." Stein leaned his head up. "I dare you."

Kiras body's head twitched and she pulled back thrusting the scythe at Stein, but she stopped inches before she could hit him. Stein stood there watching. Medusa was in awe for an odd reason. Then she smirked finding the bodys one weakness The bodys eyes twitched, the color fading. Stein shook his head. He walked closer to her, the scythe disappeared from her hands.

"Let me bring her back." Stein gently pulled the body into a hug. Kiras body shuddered. Medusa pushed Stein away from the body.

"Shes mine to control now." Medusa took her hand then pulled the body into the basement of the old house. Stein, who had stumbled to the floor when the witch pushed him, got up and went after them.

Medusa pulled the body, ripping the clothes from it, then pushing it into a heavily chained cage. Stein walked down the stairs only to run into one of Medusa's snake. While Stein was dealing with the snake, Medusa had started performing a spell. The floor around Kiras panicking body started to glow.

Kiras body cried out in pain. Medusa smirked, continuing the spell. Kiras body released a pulse wave, causing Stein to freeze and Medusa to stumble back.

"What is it?" Maka shook Souls arm, Soul stood there frozen. "Soul?" She pulled on his arm, "Come on talk to me.." Soul shook his head then took off running toward where he had felt her.

"Make sure Kid is following Maka.."

"Kid!" Liz yelled off in the distance.

"Shut it!" Kid was on his board speeding off.

"Kid!" Soul looked up to him. Kid nodded holding up the crystal that was around his neck.

BlackStar, who wasnt too far from the center of the pulse, had stopped completely. He felt her body calling for help. He felt the wave the strongest.

"Dont give in…" BlackStars eyes glared forward. "Im almost there!" He yelled out then took off at full speed towards her.

Kiras body lay shaking on the ground, the strength of the pulse wave her body had released broke the cage. Medusa pulled herself to her feet and slit her wrist, mumbling the last few words to the spell. Kiras body winced in pain then went limp. Medusa walked over to her pressing her bloody wrist to Kiras lips. She slowly started to drink her mothers blood.

"Awaken." Kiras eyes opened, glowing a bloody bright crimson red.


	21. Unbroken

"Ryan." Medusa spoke softly, her daughter's head on her lap. "How do you feel?"

"not so well.." Kiras body set her hands on her lower stomach. "What have you done?"

"I fixed you." Medusa smiled. " Up Ryan, lets go." KIras body nodded then stood up, the cool air of the basement against her bare skin sent shivers up her body. Medusa stood then put her hand on her shoulder. Kiras body smiled then put her hand over Medusas, Kiras body gently squeezed her hand. Medusa smirked, then froze.

Kiras eyes were glowing red, Kiras body squeezed Medusas hand crushing her bones almost instantly. Medusa yanked her hand away giving a cry of held out her hand, a stream of red light escaping from her palm, but it faded. Kiras body tilted her head.

"Hah.." Medusa held her broken hand. "you've been reset, without that stupid soul you're useless" She looked up to Kiras body.

"If i were useless you would have killed me." Kiras body walked over to Medusa gently placing her hand on hher cheek. "why didnt you kill me? " Medusa was slightly mesmerized by her daughters eyes. She shook her head, then stepped away from Kiras body. Medusa let her Snakes go to attack Kiras snake distracting Stein followed the others. Kira held her hand out and the snake that rested on her chest pulled itself from her skin then attacked Medusas.

"Kira!" BlackStar burst into the house, then ran down to the basement. Kiras body stopped to look back at him. BlackStar ran up and stood between her and Medusas snakes. Kiras snake slithered back up her body and returned to its tattoo form. His eyes were full of rage. He was focused on Medusa. Kiras head started, her vision was fading.

"shes unstable.." Medusa mumbled then retreated back. "Take her!" She yelled at the blue haired boy, tossing a blanket to him. "i have no need for her… yet.." She walked up the stairs.

"Wait you coward!" Blackstar went to go after her, but KIras body collapsed and he caught her. Stein walked over to them, barely recovering from a bit Medusa's snake and gave him. Stein collapsed to his knees, placing his hand on Kiras forehead.

"Dont leave me… " He whispered in her ear. Her body convulsed, then she gripped onto BlackStars arm. BlackStar, who just noticed she was nude, was blushing madly. He quickly wrapped the blanket around her then picked her up.

"We need to go.. I have a bad feeling.." BlackStar looked to Stein who was completely out of it. Stein nodded then stood up and walked up the stairs. BlackStar followed him, Kira's head resting on his chest as he carried her.

"Kira! " Soul and KId yelled in unicon as the saw BlackStar walking through the woods with her in his arms. The sky was dark, and it had started raining.

"Give her to me.. " Kid walked up to BlackStar, holding his arms out to him. BlackStar said nothing, but didnt let go of her. "BlackStar.." Kid said in a more stern tone.

"Right…" BlackStar looked down at Kira then gently set her into his arms.

"Thank you…" Kid mumbled, his heart skipped a beat as he held KIra close to him. The black crystal started to pulse against Kids chest. Kiras head rested on kids chest right above his heart. He holds Kira close, then they start their way back to Death city.


	22. Her Guardian

Kid looked up as they walked into the colosseum. Maka and Soul close behind him. BlackStar was playing with a small shiny coin, he was at the entrance. Stein was with him. Kid laid Kira in the middle of the arena, then took the pulsing crystal from around his neck. Kid held it up and looked at it, then at Kira. He gently set the crystal on her chest, between the snake tattoos on her chest.

The crystal pulsed heavily, sending a small wave throughout the colosseum. BackStar held the coin tightly in his hand looking over at Kira. The crystal started to glow, then faded.

"Nothing…" Kid mumbled. "Father said this was the place.." Kid picked up the crystal looking at it.

The pink haired boy walked slowly into the colosseum. Crona walked up to Kira and kneeled next to Kid.

"This isnt the spot." He looked at Kid. "She told me a while ago." Crona picked up his little sister then stood up. "ill take you." Crona kissed her forehead then started to walk out of the colosseum.

"why did she tell you?" Kid watched him, then shook his head and followed Crona.

"Im her brother. Her guardian." He looked around, then started his way towards the D.W.M.A.

"Did you.. make her tell you?" Soul walked beside Kid, Maka next to him.

"i did…" Crona Held her close, looking up at the school as they started up the stairs.

"why did you do that?!" Blackstar stopped Crona standing in front of him. "What did you do to her?" His tone grew cold.

"That doesnt matter," Crona walked past him. "we need to get her back.."

Blackstar growled looking at him. He kept his mouth shut and followed him up. Kid kept silent, not letting his anger get to him. Kid held the crystal tightly.

"here.." Crona walked to the center of the courtyard. Crona stepped aside then looked at Kid. "Go to her…" He backed away, looking at Kira.

"right.." Kid walked up to Kira, the crystal pulsing stronger in his hand. The crystal glowed brightly, he kneeled down next to her, gently setting the crystal on her chest. She opened her eyes, the crystal cracked and shattered. A black orb appeared above her chest. Kid gasped sitting back. Kiras body rose up to her feet her arms opened up to hug her soul. The black orb slowly disappeared into her chest. Her eyes stopped glowing and she slowly closed them. Her body gently laid back down in front of Kid.

"Kira.." Kid mumbled, his hand reaching for hers. He held her hand gently looking at her. Tears came to his eyes. He laid her head on his lap looking down at , Maka, BlackStar and Stein gathered around them.

Kiras eyes slowly fluttered open, her vision was blurry at first but grew clear within seconds. Everyones faces turned bright and they smiled happily.

"Welcome back Kira."


	23. Recovery

"Kira please rest a while." Kid placed his hands on her shoulders as she tried to get up. Kira's eyes met his.

"Kid i don't want to. Im tired of this. I've been in bed for a week." She sighed sinking back into her bed. She looked over out her bedroom window. The sky was dark, it was early morning, and it seemed it was going to rain.

"I know you are, but Father said you have to rest. Your body has been under a lot of pressure. You can't force it anymore." Kid sat back down in the chair he had next to her bed. She leaned her head back glancing over at Kid. She let out a soft sigh then looked down at her bandaged body. Her arms were all cut up, blood was seeping from her bandages. She shifted her body, sliding down, the wounds on her back burning as she did. She cringed slightly, closing her eyes. Kid looked at her then leaned forward and kisses her cheek.

"Please rest Kira." He smiled down at her.

"I will.." She slowly turns onto her left side, her back towards Kid. "Can you get me a glass of water?"

"Yeah." He looked at him then walks out the door. The little gray and white kitten came running in. The kitten mewed then wiggled its butt then hopped up onto the bed and cuddled its way into Kiras arms.

"Kuro.." She smiled nuzzling her cheek against her pillow. Kuro looked up at Kira then crawled up and nuzzled her face purring. she chuckled then pet Kuro slowly, he nuzzled up against her hand then settled down in front of her face, purring loudly.

"Kira.." Kid walked back in holding a glass of water. He set it on her nightstand, then helped her sit up. She cringed holding onto him tightly. Kid frowned "Forgive me.." He handed her the glass.

"Its okay.." She sipped the water then handed in back to him, quickly laying back down. Kid sighed sitting back down on the chair. "what are you doing?" Kira looked over at him. "come lay down, i know youre tired and sitting there isnt going to let you rest that well. "

"father said"

"I know what Lord Death said, but youve been taking care of me for a week, come rest." Kira rolled back onto her left side. Kuro was laying on her pillow sound asleep. Kid looked around, then sighed and slid his shoes and socks off, setting them neatly at the foot of the bed. He crawled up into bed laying on his right side, facing Kira. Kira looked over at him, she smiled softly at him. Kid looked over at her, his cheek pressed against the pillow. Kid reached over and grasped her hand, holding it gently in hers. Kira softly held his hand, her eyes closing softly. He smiled closing his eyes. The two slowly falling asleep.

"R-Ryan! I-Im home.." Crona walked into the apartment Maka, Soul, and BlackStar walking in behind him. The apartment was silent. Crona looked around then walked up the stairs. Maka looked at Soul, Soul to BlackStar, Then followed. Crona knocked softly on Kiras door, then slowly opened it. The group slowly walked in, Maka smiled then looked at Soul. Soul nodded then nudged Maka softly. BlackStar twitched slightly then walked out of the room. Crona tilted his head, looking at Kira asleep in the same bed as Kid, their hands still gripped together.

"I-I dont know how to deal with this."


	24. Learning To Feel Again

"Its so good to walk again.." Kira smiled, she was standing on the balcony of the DWMA. Lord Death was standing behind her.

"Its glad to have you back Kira." Lord Death smiled under his mask. "Weve missed you."

"We?" Kira stood on the brick wall that separated the balcony and the long fall to the ground below.

"Your old partner, Stein has been going mad without you."

"Has he?" Kira looked over the edge, the tips of her boots hanging over, her cloak blowing in the wind.

"Kira, I ask you not as the Reaper, but as a Father. Watch yourself around here. Targets have been crossed on your back." Lord death was suddenly serious. "I dont want you or Kid hurt."

"I got it.." Kira kneeled down, then jumped up, pushing off the brick wall with full force, the wall cracked, a small stream of purple light healed the wall.

"I mean it.." Lord Death disappeared into the DWMA.

The force in Kiras jump sent her flying up into the air, high above the DWMA. She held her hand out and a stream of light escaped. A scythe appeared and she softly landed on it, it floated there. The scythes blade was a pure back, the base of the blade had leather wrapped around it. On one of the leather bindings was a charm. It hung down loosely.

Kiras eyes focused on the charm. She leaned over and pulled the charm from the Scythe, She held the charm up. then pulled a leather strip from the scythe. She attaches the charm to the strip then braids the strip into her hair, just above her right ear.

"i havent seen her all day.." Kid was sitting in class with Maka, Soul, and BlackStar.

"i havent seen her in a week." BlackStar mumbled, the coin in his hand. "i have to go, " He said louder then got up and walked away.

"right.." Kid looked after him, a glare in his eyes.

Kira was still floating above the DWMA on her scythe. She was now sitting in the staff of it. She had her legs crossed as if she was sitting in a chair. She was playing with the charm in her hair.

"Oi!" BlackStar was standing on one of the three pillars of the DWMA.

Kira looked over to him, her mood was lightened and she smiled at him. She stood up then steared her scythe down to him. She reached her hand out to him, and he took it, then pulled her from the scythe to stand on the pillar with him.

"Kira... " BlackStars voice was soft and deep. "Where have you been?"

"At home, Crona was taking care of me the last few days, he finally said i could leave the house." Kira looked up at the darkening sky. She setting sun casting perfect dim light around them.

"Lets finish that motorcycle tomorrow.." BlackStar still had a firm grip on her hand.

"Sounds like a plan." She intertwined her fingers with his, She hopped back onto her scythe. She looked back at him. "I have to go." She gently released his hand.

"Promise tomorrow it will be just be me and you?" He looked at her.

"I promise." She leaned to him, softly placing a kiss on his cheek.

" Thank you.." His cheeks flush a light pink. He watches her as she floats of on her scythe.


	25. Building Something More

Kira stretched as she opened her eyes. She just awoke from a great nights sleep. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. There was a soft knock on the door.

"R-Ryan.." Crona slowly opened the door. "I made breakfast."

"Thank you, " Kira stood up. "Ill be down in a few. "

"Okay.. " Crona nodded then shut the door and walked downstairs. Kira looked out the bay window. She walked over and sat on the ledge looking down. She smiled then got up and walked over to her dresser. she looked through her clothes then picked out a black skirt and a blue v-neck. She slid into her clothes then pulled her coat on. The coat instantly started flowing as if she was standing in the wind. She looked at herself in the body mirror she had hanging on her wall. The snake tattoos were clearly visible on her chest. Her fingers traced over the bitemarks Medusas snakes had made on her collarbone. She shook her head then walked down stairs.

"Ryan.." Crona smiled as he set her plate of food on the table. She smiled at him then sat down at the table.

"Thank you, again." She smiles and started eating.

"no problem. " Crona smiled again and sat down and started eating his food.

There was a knock on the front door. Kira looked up as Crona got up to answer the door. Crona walked over to the door and opened it to find BlackStar standing there, he was dressed casually. He was wearing black shorts, and a red muscle shirt.

"B-BlackStar?" Crona tilted his head.

"Let him." Kira looked over at them. Crona looked over at her then nodded and let the blue haired assassin into the house.

"Kira." She saw him smile as he walked in and sat next to her at the table.

"BlackStar." She chuckles, then continues eating. Blackstar pulls his chair closer, leaning his head against the back of Kiras shoulder.

"I dont know how to deal with this…" Crona mumbled then walked back to the table and picked his plate up. He brought it to the kitchen then walked back. "Maka invited me to hang out for the day Ryan.." Crona looked at Kira. "Are you okay here by yourself?"

"Shes not alone.." BlackStar looked at him. Crona looked at him then back at Kira.

"Are you?" He continued. Kira chuckled nervously then nodded.

"I am." She smiled at Crona, BlackStar looking at him over Kiras shoulder.

"Alright.." Crona looked at them, then walked out the front door closing it behind him.

Kira finished her food then, got up and put her plate in the sink. She looked back at BlackStar.

"How about that bike?" She smiled then walked to the key rack and picked up the keys to the garage and the motorcycle.

"Lets go," BlackStar stood up, then followed her as she left the apartment. Kira walked down the stairs and over to the garage. She unlocked the door and pulled it open. There were boxes of parts all over the place.

"woah.." BlackStar mumbled. "You got more parts. "

"I did. " She walked in and pulled out two tarp, he helped her set them up. "I have enough to make about three bikes now." She pointed to the two broken frames in the back. "i just need to do a bit of welding on one and you can have it."

"Me?" BlackStar looked at her. "you want me to have one?"

"Yeah, " She nodded as she pulled out a welding mask. "want to learn?"

"Heck Yeah!"

Only about two hours later both broken frames were fixed, with not much help from BlackStar.

Kira stood all three frames up on the tarps then started bringing out the boxes of parts. BlackStar rolled out her tool box. She started spreading out the parts and matching them together with the frames.

"Thats it!" Kira wiped sweat from her forehead, her cheek had a grease stain on it, along with her hands. Her coat was completely clean. She wiped her hands with a rag and looked at the three completed motorcycles. "Lets see if they work?" She pulled the keys from her coat pocket, holding them up.

"yeah," BlackStar nodded, he had grease on his forehead and his cheek. His shirt has a rather large spot on it where he was wiping his hands. He watched Kira pull a gas can from the garage and fill up the bikes at least half way.

"We can paint them after classes tomorrow." Kira smiled then handed one of the keys to BlackStar. He took the key and walked over to the bike he put together himself, with only a little help from Kira.

"ready?" Kira slid the key into the ignition of the bike next to her and turned it. BlackStar following suit. Both engines roared to life. Kira cheered and smiled brightly, then started the last bike. BlackStar, feeling to confident in himself crossed his arms and smiled at Kira. He looked at her with more than just happiness. His eyes were content with his own truth.


	26. A New Weapon

"Well, Kira what do you say?" Kid looked at her, "Do you accept my request?"

"You want to battle against me?" Kira looked at him in shock.

" I Call next fight!" BlackStar called from the background. Kira glared at back at him and he snickered.

"I do, please accept.." Kid seemed like he had already be defeated.

"You know i could never do anything to hurt you Kid." Kira looked at Liz who was standing behind him. "Are you sure it not your partner who wants us to fight?"

"Kira please.." Kid looked at her, then glared back at Liz.

"Fine i will. "

Kira stretched her shoulders, readying herself for the fight. Across the yard Kid was watching her. Kira held her hands up and her scythe appeared in her hands . She spun the scythe looking at it.

"This is.. new.." She observed the blade, it had a two-toned blade. Deep blue lightning bolts dashed across the blade, backed by a grey mist. The shaft was black with the same blue rings around the base. The decoration on the base of the blade held deep red rubies and shining blue sapphires. She spun it again. The scythe flowed like it was an extension of her own soul. She tossed it high into the air and caught it with ease.

"Kira!" Kid called from across the yard then shot at her. Her instant reaction was to block herself with the blade. The bullet was deflected. She looked over at Kid then charged at him. She was in front of him almost instantly. She thrusted the base of her scythe at him. He was barely dodging it, She sweeped the blade to the side and hit him with the back. He jumped backwards landing on the wall.

He aimed at her and shot. He hit her arm that was holding the scythe Her arm went numb and she dropped the scythe. She growled and the scythe disappeared. In her other hand appeared a pistol and she shot at him. Her aim was bad. She was used to scythes and blades. Where had this gun come from? She shook her head then tossed the gun away, it disappeared and she jumped up off the ground with full force. The ground shattering under her.

Kid jumped out of her way, rolling to the side.

"Liz, Patty Soul Resonance!" KId shouted then moments later Kid, Patty, and Liz started to align their souls. Kira turned to watch them. She smirked, her eyes turning a deep purple. She stretched out her arms as she regained feeling in them. She held her hands above her head and in her hands appeared a sniper like gun. She aimed it straight down at Kid. She smirked then pulled the trigger.

Below her was a big explosion. The force of the explosion forced her farther up into the air. The gun in her hand disappeared. A scythe appeared below her feet and she kicked off it landing on the top pillar of the DWMA. She looked down at the source of the explosion waiting for the smoke to clear. She licked her lips, as a huge red beam of light came shooting out of the cloud of smoke. She closed her eyes letting it hit her.


	27. Another Soul Fragment

As the smoke cleared below were Kira once was, Kira was falling from the pillar. Her eyes faded back to the normal red and she awoke from her stupor. She held her hand up and her black bladed scythe appeared in her hand and she caught herself. She used her other hand to cover her eyes holding herself there. She hung a couple hundred feet in the air, the scythe slowly floating up. When she fully regained control she pulled herself up onto the scythe and sat down. She looked down to see Kid on his knees, his shirt was torn up from her shot. She blushed slightly averting her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Kid called up to her, holding his hand over his eyes blocking out the sun.

"Peachy!" She called back then stood up on her scythe. "Get ready.." She grind then pushed off the scythe and it disappeared. The instant the scythe disappeared, the blue and black scythe appearing in her hands. She smirked her eyes turning a deep purple once again.

She rushed Kid, the blade of the scythe disappearing as she swung the scythe at Kid.

"Game." Kira smirked, then stood straight up. Kid sighed leaning his head back. Liz and Patty turning back to their human forms.

"Nice trick there." Kid walked up to Kira then panted her back.

"My Turn!" BlackStar pushed between them.

"Tomorrow Star." Kira sighed then smiled at him. "Im kinda drained from getting hit with that Death Cannon." She rubbed the back of her head.

"Man.." BlackStar crossed his arms. "Rest up then cause ill be coming after you with full force."

"Is that a promise?" Kira grinned at him then high-fived him.

"Damn straight it is." He grinned.

"Until then, Kira." Kid interrupted. "Why dont you and I go get lunch?" He said purposely leaving out BlackStar of the equation.

"Sounds nice." Kira smiled then took her coat off. The coat made a weird noise, Kira sighed and put it back on.

"Did your coat just growl?" Kid looked at her.

"Yeah, after i was abducted by mother, it took on a fragment of my soul." She fixed the collar of her coat. "Its now like an extension of my body I guess."

"Thats.. odd."

"Its like how your cloak always flows when you were it" She explained. "Except mine's more of a witches thing, like how Mother controls her tail, so to speak. Although, mine has an attitude to match. "

"Anyway.." Kid took her hand. "Lets go yeah?"

"Right.." Kira looked at BlackStar. BlackStar smiled and nodded, he patted Kiras shoulder then walks away, into the DWMA.


	28. Another Soda

Kid held Kiras hand as they walked down the stairs that lead up to the DWMA. Kid still didn't have a shirt. Kira held his hand softly. She looked up at the sun, it was around noon. She covers her eyes from the sun and continues walking hand in hand with Kid.

"We've been spending a lot of time together recently.." Kid smiled gripping her hand a bit tighter. "It makes me happy."

"Im glad." Kira smiled as they reached the bottom of the stairs. "The cafe?" Kira looked up at Kid.

"Sure," Kid led her to the cafe.

Kira sat down on the chair next to the cafe window. Kid sat across the table from her. She looked out the window, Kid ordered for them both, already knowing what Kira likes. She smiled at him.

"How have you been?" Kid reached across the table taking ahold of her hand.

"Good." She holds his hand. "our birthdays coming up."

"It is, " He smiled, then leaned back as the waiter brought their food and drinks. "Im going to have a party, will you come as my guest of honor?" Kid looked up to her.

"Sure." She smiles at him. "Is there a dress code this time?"

"Formal as usual."

"As expected." She smiles then starts to eat her food.

Kid leans on his elbow watching her. Everything seem right in the world at this moment. Kira was happy. Kid had completely fallen in love with her. He froze for a second. Where was Kira's heart? He panicked for a second then shook his head and started eating his food. Occasionally looking up at Kira. The rest of the lunch was pretty much silent.

Kira sighed walking with her hands behind her head. She looked up at the dark sky. She shook her head then walked to the park, along the way she stopped by a small shop and picked up four bottles of blue fizzy soda.

She held a plastic bag in her hand as she walked. She looked around the park, it was surprisingly empty. She sat down at a bench and set the bag next to her. She leans her elbows on her knees, her hands on her cheeks. She looks up at the moon, then reaches over and grabs a soda and pops it open. She sits up and sips it.

"Mind if i join you?"


	29. Rejected Waves

Kira looked up, her eyes meeting Steins. She moved over, then pulled out a soda and held it up to him. Stein smiled then sat next to her, he grabbed the soda then popped it open and sipped it. She sips her soda, she leans on him. Stein wrapped an arm around her.

"Kira, Whats going to happen when you leave again?" Stein looked down at her. "What will Kid and BlackStar do?"

"I dont know.." Kira sipped her soda. "what if i stay?" She looked up at him.

"If you do, who will you choose?" Stein gripped her shoulder, then sipped his soda. "You know they both look at you during classes, they both have their eye set on you and only you."

"You know who I choose.." She sat up straight, finishing her soda. "I have to go.." She got up and grabbed one more soda from the bag, leaving the other for him. She walked away, then stopped at a wall that separated the park from the street, she glanced back at Stein then set the empty bottle on the wall upside down.

Kira sighed kicking her boots off as she walks into her apartment. She looks around, the place was dark, but clean thanks to her brother. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a muffin from the counter. She picked up the house phone and dialed a pizza place and ordered a large pepperoni pizza.

Kira had just finished her muffin when the pizza was delivered. She paid the delivery boy the slammed the door and walked to her room. She was obviously irritated with herself. Kira sat on her bed setting the pizza box down next to her. She pulled a slice from the box and started nibbling on it. reaching for the remote Kira turned on her TV. She laid back flipping through the channels. She sighs stopping on an Anime channel.

Kid sighed looking out his window. He looked up at the moon, rain started falling from the sky. Kid stood up and walked out of his room, grabbing a hoodie as he went.

Kid walked down the street, his hood over his head. Kid stopped at a store and picked up two blue sodas. He walked up to to Kiras front door. Instead of knocking he pulled out the key Kira had given him. He unlocked the door then walked in and shut the door. He took his hoodie off a hung it next to Kiras coat. He walks into the kitchen and sets the soda in the fridge. He looks around the house then walks over to the stairs and up them. He softly knocked on Kiras door, then slowly pushed it open. He smiled crossing his arms and looking over to find Kira sprawled out on her bed, an open pizza box next to her. He chuckled then walked over and closed the pizza box off the bed onto her night stand.

Kira stirred and rolled over onto her side. Her hair was messed up. She had changed into her pjs. Just a sweater and shorts. He pulled her fully onto the bed and covered her. He sat on the end of the bed and slid his shoes and socks off. He took his shirt off then crawled into bed with Kira. She was sound asleep. Kid wrapped his arms around her, relaxing back into her fluffy pillows. Kira nuzzled herself close to him. Kid closed his eyes slowly falling asleep with her in his arms.

Kira woke up early the next morning. She sat up rubbing her eyes. She looked at Kid laying next to her. She tilted her head then chuckled when she saw he was drooling. She wiped his chin with the sleeve of her sweater. She got out of bed then stretched out her arms. She grabbed her clothes then walked into the bathroom and shut the door. She stripped out of her pjs and put her clothes. She looked at herself in the mirror and let her hair down. Her hair was long black and silky. She ran a brush through her hair brushing it all the way down to her knees. She smiled then brushed her teeth and washed her face.

Kid awoke to a sweet smell enveloping the room. Kid rubbed his eyes then ran his fingers through his hair. He stood up then slowly walked down the stairs.

Kira was in the kitchen making pancakes. Kid smiled and walked up behind her. She smiles looking back at him.

"Morning." She flipped a pancake. "Grab a plate i made eggs and bacon as well." She placed the pancake on a plate with other pancakes. She turned off the stove then set the pan in the sink. She grabbed two plates from the cabinet and hands one to Kid.

Kid smiled then takes the plate and piled on pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Kira smiles then piles the same onto her plate. She grabs a glass of Orange juice and walks to the table and sits down. Kid following close behind her, he sat across from her and smiled at the death scythe.

"So, howd you sleep?" Kid said as he cut into his pancakes.

"Good." She took a bite of the bacon then looked up at him. "How about you?"

"i slept well," He bit into his pancake. "Sorry for intruding last night.."

"Its fine.." Kira looked at her food.

Kira sighed flopping down in bed. It was a long day of classes she helped Stein with. She had transformed into so many weapons, some she didn't even know she had taken. She closed her eyes slowly drifting off to sleep. Kuro mewed and jumped onto Kiras lap. She purred softly looking around. She crawled up and settled on Kiras chest, nuzzled up to her breast.

BlackStar looked up at the sky, sweat beading down his shirtless body. He wiped his face off then walked back into the DWMA. He had been training all day, avoiding Kid and Kira.

"BlackStar.." Tsubaki mumbled walking up to him. "Dont push yourself so hard.." She set a towel and a cool bottle of water down next to where he sat.

"If i dont.. ill never be able to wield a Death Scythe like her…" BlackStar sighed then put the towel over his head. "her wave length rejected me once… I can't let that happen again…"


	30. Beats me

BlackStar pulled himself up from his bed, it was early morning and still dark. He rubbed his eyes then got dressed. Tsubaki was still asleep in her bed. He walked out of his room into the bathroom, he was still tired and didn't want to do much. He stretched out his arms and look into the mirror then he placed his hands against the glass looking at himself. His soul was tired. He spent the last week training as hard as he could. He attempted to resonate his soul with Kiras. The wavelength broke almost instantly. BlackStar shook his head and walked out of the bathroom. Once again walking himself to the training fields of the DWMA.

Tsubaki, awoke several hours later to find herself alone in the house. She knew BlackStar had to be training. She had been thinking he'd been pushing himself too far. Tsubaki arose from her bed and dressed herself. She tied her hair up in her traditional ponytail then went on her way to find BlackStar.

When she found him he was even more tired than when he woke up that morning. Tsubaki sighed crossing her arms as she watched him work out.

"BlackStar!" Kira came running up the steps in her workout clothes. A sports bra and yoga shorts. "Youre up earlier than me for a change."

BlackStar looked over to greet the young death scythe. "yo." he smiled at her. Tsubakis expression changed as she looked at the scythe.

"Morning." Tsubaki smiled softly at her. She waved towards BlackStar. "we'll continue this later." Tsubaki made her exit.

He sighed then looked towards the death scythe. Her hair was different. She had a red streak in it now.

"Yo Kira what did you do to your hair?" Blackstar walked over to her and ran his fingers through her hair.

"What do you mean?" She looked at him, then she pulled her hair to the side so she could look at her hair. "Oh.." She looked at the red streak that ran through her hair. "i dunno how that got there."

"hmmn." He looked at her and smiled then pulled the scythe into a hug. "odd."

She chuckled and hugged the assassin back. His arms wrapped around her, his cheek resting on her head. He held her against his tired and sweaty body. Kira felt the intensity of the moment rise. SHe blushed slightly leaning her cheek against his chest.

"BlackStar…" Kira mumbled then pulled herself from the embrace. "I came to train you not to cuddle.." She looked away not to meet the assassins eyes.

"Right.." BlackStar nodded rubbing the back of his head. "lets start with a few laps around the school?" He looked over at her. Her new streak seemed to glow with the rising sun light.

"Sure thing." Kira nodded to him, then begun to stretch.

BlackStar sighed watching the little Death Scythe stretch. She seemed so calm, elegant. He began to stretch himself getting lost in his own memories.

"Oi!" BlackStar nudged Kira. "Just because you are the new death scythe in town doesnt mean you can be better than me!"

"wasn't trying to." She looked at her new blue haired friend. Maka in the background, along with Soul and Tsubaki, chuckled softly to themselves.

"Hes at it again." The mumbled. "thats BlackSTar for ya."

"Yo Death Scythe!" BlackStar crossed his arms standing in front of her. "I Challenge you to a match, no weapons." he smirked.

"Okay." She tilted her head looking at him. "doesnt seem so difficult."

Once out in the courtyard Kira and Blackstar took their stances. BlackStar grinned, then both charged at each other. There was a flash of light and like that the little battle was over. BlackStar collapsed to his knees.

"You could use the soul force to.." BlackStar turned to look at the Death Scythe.

"Of course, " She turned to look at him. "I could sense the change in wavelengths." She ran her fingers through her hair and smiled at the assassin, "Guess it wouldn't hurt to teach the Master Assassin a few things."

BlackStars cheeks flushed red the second she called him that.

"BlackStar?" Kira waved her hand infront of his face. "BlackStar hellooo?"

"Huh? oh! im here.." He looked away, his cheeks flushed red. "Just thinking about a few things is all.."

"Well if you dont hurry i'll beat you.." Kira chuckled then took off running.

"Youre the only one i'll let beat me.." BlackStar mumbled then took off running after her.


	31. Madness in Me

Kira jolted up panting heavily, cold sweat dripping down her skin. Growling out she placed her hands on her head, letting out a loud scream. Crona was pounding on her door.

"Sis!" He called out. "Ryan!" But got no response. On the other side of the door Kira's tears turned to blood.

She had just awoken from a terrible nightmare. Kira stumbled up from her bed hastily she dressed herself. She was dazed, but knew where she was going. The path burned in her memory.

Her smokey gray pupils slowly faded away as four slits in her eyes appeared and slowly opened into Kishin eyes. Kira grabbed her head crying out once again before jumping from her bedroom window.

Out deep in a forest, miles away from Death City, Medusa waited. A smirk slowly curling on her lips.

Kira's vision faded in and out as she ran. She couldn't stop. She soon came upon the entrance of the forest. She stopped only for a moment to look back, Death City no where in sight.

"Lord Death!" Maka, Soul, and Crona burst open the door to the Death room running up to the mirror. She quickly wrote '42-42-564' on the mirror.

"Yo Maka!" Lord Death answered moments later.

"Kira's gone! Crona said she had woken up screaming and when he had finally opened her door her room was empty."

Lord Death fell silent. He did nothing but walk out of the mirror looking down at the trio.

"We might have a huge problem on our hands." He simply said. "Maka, Soul, Crona, you must keep this from Kid. "

"But Kids-"

"No buts." Lord Death said a bit more firmly. "Kid cannot find out. Go get me Stein and Spirit." Lord Death sent the three from the death room.

Kira let out a growl as she walked closer to a hooded figure. Medusa smirked turning towards her daughter.

"It seems you've given in." She licked her lips, then walked up to her daughter. A black iron scythe appeared in Kira's hands. "Oh?" Medusa chuckled. "Calm yourself child." Medusa started to hum softly placing her hands on Kira's cheeks. Kira's eye color then faded from the bright red it usually was to a deep blood red.

"You must be thirsty child, " Medusa made a small cut on her wrist then held it to Kira's lips. Instinctively Kira began licking the blood from her mothers wrist. She slowly closed her eyes drinking in her mothers blood.

"You're kidding me right Lord Death?!" Stein slammed his fists down on the table in front of him. "We need Kid if we want to get her back!"

"I'm not going to let my son get killed going after that Kishin!"

The room fell silent. Spirit, Stein, Maka, Soul, and everyone but Kid was in the room.

"She's not a Kishin." Stein clenched his fists. "She's a lost soul trapped by you." Without another word Stein, followed by Spirit, left the room.

"Kira is stronger then you give her credit for Lord Death." BlackStar and Tsubaki left after them.

Soul and Maka glanced at each other, then walked out. "That's so not cool.." Soul mumbled softly.

Crona looked up at Lord Death. "You should know, Kira can't harm anyone she loves. It's etched into her soul to protect, not harm." He said softly before walking out after Maka.

"It's what had to be done.." Lord Death talked to himself. "Or else no one would have had enough hate to see such a pureness."

"Fool." Excalibur was sitting on the couch. "Hate is no answer. They now have the determination to show his true potential." He sipped his tea. "You shall soon see that weapons power."

Medusa sat in the middle of a clearing in the forest. Kira's head in her lap. Medusa sung softly. "Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go, tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down. " she smirked running her fingers through Kira's hair. "Tired of waisted breath, tired of nothing left, tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down,"

Maka sat on Steins couch, Soul next to her. BlackStar standing up, leaning against the wall. Tsubaki and Crona sitting with Maka and Soul.

"Who's going to tell him?" Stein sat across from Maka, Spirit next to him. Soul looked at Maka.

"Me?" She looked at them. "I can't handle that..." Maka looked down at her hands on her lap. She clenched her fists. "I'll do it though.." Maka relaxed her hands then reached for the phone on the coffee table in front of her and dialed Kids number.

"Hello?" Kid answered the phone.

"Kid, there's something I need to tell you."


	32. The Soul Cage Scythe

The door to Stein's house burst open before Maka could even set down the phone. Everyone looked towards the door. Kid was standing there looking at them his phone in his hand.

"Tell me you're playing a joke on me." Kid walked up to Maka. His tone was as stern as ever. Spirit stood up walking between the reaper and his daughter.

"Why would we joke about Kira?" Spirit looked to Kid. "we need you to find her, you and Stein are the only people who can track her soul."

Kid froze there, his eyes drifted down. He stood there for a while just contemplating what to do. Kiras eyes flashed through his mind. It's like her soul was calling out for help. Stein stood up looking at Kid. Kid looked up to meet the professor's eyes. Maka and Soul looked at each other then stood up.

"And who says i can't?" BlackStar walked over and stood next to Kid. Kid looked over at him.

"You tried to Meist her?" Kid's eyes grew cold. "why?"

"She asked me to…" BlackStar smirked. "of course, you were away on a mission."

Kid growled and grabbed BlackStar's shirt. "Do not touch my death scythe again." Kid pushed him back letting him go as he walked back out the door.

"Why'd you have to bring that up now?" Maka looked over at him. "We need him to bring Kira back before she completely falls to the madness!"

Spirit looked back at Stein. "Oi. you holding up there?" Spirit turned to him.

"let's follow Kid.." Stein said then walked from his house.

Kid looked over the forest as he rode Beezlebub. He slowed down and came to a stop."She's close.." Kid hopped off his board, continuing on foot.

"He couldn't have gone too far!" Maka called out running towards the direction she sensed the young reapers soul. The others not to far behind. Stein and Spirit were up ahead.

"Tsk." Kid waken into the clearing seeing Kira lying on the grass, her head laying on the witch's lap. "Medusa.." He mumbled gritting his teeth.

Medusa smirked then brought her gaze up from the sleeping death scythe in her lap to the reaper standing ahead of her. She softly chuckled, then placed her hand on the girls cheek.

"Its time to awaken Ryan." She whispered to her, then moved her hand away.

Kiras eyes slowly opened, her gray pupil was still missing. The four slits in the corner of her eyes slowly opened as she sat up. Kira rubbed her eyes looking around, she pulled herself to her feet and held her hands out, a stream of baby blue light escaped her palms. Another scythe appearing in her hands. This scythe had a small, round cage at the base of its blade.

She held it out and spun it with ease. Medusa stood up behind her, resting her hand on her shoulder.

"The soul cage scythe." Medusa grinned licking her lips. "a weapon i designed myself." Her hand glided to Kiras chin, bringing her face close to hers, their lips closing in. "Perfect for such a girl." Medusa chuckled. "With every cut youll feel your soul rip apart piece by piece." she turned to the reaper boy. "until youre trapped in the cage." She smirked pointing to the cage on the scythe.

"What have you done to-" Before Kid could finish Kira had charged him, swinging the scythe at full force. Kid quickly side-stepped, only to be clipped on his left shoulder by the tip of the blade. Kira retreated to Medusas side. Kid collapsed to his knees cringing in pain. He placed his hand on his chest grunting in pain.

In the small cage on the scythe appeared a small little piece of red soul.
